Slovakia will look to build on their encouraging 2-0 win over Romania when they take on Malta in this international friendly. Given the huge gap in quality and form between the two teams, we predict a 3-0 home win. Even though the Falcons failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals after a dramatic 4-3 playoff defeat to Kosovo, there were plenty of positives in their latest outing. Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka remains the key figure in the Slovak squad thanks to his composure and creativity in midfield, and the hosts are expected to dominate possession from the very start.
Malta, on the other hand, head into the clash low on confidence after suffering three consecutive defeats, including a heavy 3-0 loss to Luxembourg in their latest friendly. The visitors have struggled badly at both ends of the pitch in recent matches and now face another difficult task against technically superior opposition. History is clearly against Malta as well, as all four previous meetings between the sides produced over 2.5 goals, with Slovakia regularly causing problems in attack.
As Slovakia boast greater individual quality and have dominated this fixture historically, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Slovakia -1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (all four previous meetings between the two nations produced at least 3 goals).
This match will be played on Monday 1 June 2026 at 17:00.
