The Netherlands hosts Malta in their second World Cup qualifiers game. The first one saw them easily dispatch Finland on the road, and the Oranje seeks another triumph here. Malta is the worst team in Group C for the moment, having just one point in three games.
Netherlands News
Oranje was confident in Helsinki, beating the hosts 0-2. Both goals were scored in the first part of the opening half, with Depay netting the first and Dumfries the second one. Overall, we could have seen at least one or two goals more, but Finland got away with an honorable loss.
This was the fourth time in the past five games that the Netherlands had scored two or more goals during 90 minutes. However, it was also the first clean sheet after three games, in which this team conceded seven goals, not winning a single one of them.
Malta News
Malta’s attack is terrible. It failed to score in four consecutive matches, which pretty much sums up everything here. The Maltese have met Andora at home, 0-0, Finland also at home, 0-1, Poland on the road, 2-0 and Lithuania at home, 0-0.
When playing away from home, this team tends to post poor results. In their last 10 outings, they have lost 8, allowing multiple goals in seven of them.
Netherlands vs. Malta Head to Head
There were six meetings throughout history between these two units. In all six, the Netherlands won, not conceding once, totaling a goal difference of 28-0.
Netherlands vs. Malta Betting Predictions
The difference in quality is quite noticeable, plus the Netherlands is playing at home. The odds on the home team’s win are low, which is why we picked the Oranje to deliver two goals inside the opening 45 minutes. The profits are well in this case, and the chances of us earning some money are solid.
