The Netherlands will be looking to maintain their perfect World Cup qualifier record on Tuesday night when they host Malta at Euroborg. Oranje are in fourth place in Group G, while the Reds are bottom of the standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Given their participation in the Nations League quarter-finals in March, the Netherlands only played their first WC qualifier on Saturday and secured a 2-0 victory over Finland.
Oranje are unbeaten in regulation time in their last five matches and have scored two or more goals in four of those games. They have only failed to qualify for one of the last five World Cup campaigns.
The hosts are also unbeaten in their last eight home games (W6 D2 L0), and scored two or more goals in all but one of those matches.
Meanwhile, Malta have never qualified for the World Cup and have a mountain to climb to do so this year, having only taken one point from their first three qualification matches.
That point came in a goalless draw with Lithuania over the weekend, following back-to-back defeats to Poland and Finland in their first two matches back in March.
The Reds have lost eight and won just two of their last 10 away games, but those victories were against 143rd-ranked Lithuania and 173rd-ranked Andorra.

Our Netherlands vs Malta Prediction
After suffering disappointment in the Nations League quarter-final to Spain, the Netherlands kicked off their World Cup qualifiers very positively, securing a 2-0 victory over Finland over the weekend.
Oranje are the clear favourites in this contest and will be looking to post a big win to boost their goal difference. Malta have never scored against this opponent in the past, and we feel they will not be able to find the target in this one either. Our Netherlands vs Malta prediction is over 2.5 & BTTS (NO).
