Malta and Luxembourg square off against each other in the first leg of the UEFA Nations League relegation playoff. Malta’s recent form has been poor, with just one win in ten games and a 20% win rate overall. Emilio De Leo's men average only 0.8 goals per match while conceding 2.4, showing clear attacking and defensive struggles. Half of their last ten matches ended with them failing to score. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Luxembourg have an even worse recent record, winning just 10% of their last ten matches. Their scoring woes are pronounced, with 0.3 goals per game, though they concede slightly less than Malta, at 1.7 per match. They’ve failed to score in 70% of their last ten games. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the first leg.
As both teams have low scoring records, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals as our main pick. Additionally, Half-Time Draw and Draw bets are worth considering.
This Nations League match will be played on Thursday 26 March 2026 at 17:00.
