How to watch and odds
- Date: Friday, Jun. 16 | Time: 2:45 p.m. ET
- Location: National Stadium -- Ta' Qali, Malta
- TV: FS1
What to know
- This will be the sixth international meeting between England and Malta, and the first time that they've met since September 2017. Back then, England defeated the Maltese side 4-0 in the Ta' Qali National Stadium thanks to goals from Harry Kane (two), Ryan Bertrand and Danny Welbeck. That win was in the qualification campaign for the 2018 World Cup. Across their two meetings in those qualifiers, England averaged 77% possession and attempted 18 shots on target, allowing Malta just one of their own across 180 minutes.
- Malta have lost all five of their matches against England in all competitions by an aggregate score of 14-1. Their only goal against the Three Lions was a Richard Wright own goal in a 2-1 friendly victory in Ta' Qali in June 2000. Current England manager Gareth Southgate came off the bench in that win.
- Malta have only ever won seven of their 226 competitive matches across World Cup and European Championship qualification. Malta have scored just one goal in five previous meetings with England – that was a Richard Wright own goal.
Prediction
England are expected to win and dominate Friday's match, putting themselves in a very good place to qualify for the 2024 Euro. Pick: England 4, Malta 0.
