World Cup qualifying Betting Preview: Malta vs Poland

Malta meet second-placed Poland at Ta' Qali, with kick-off set for 14:45 on Monday 17 November. With a three-point gap to the Netherlands and a 13-goal disadvantage, Poland are effectively locked in as Group G runners-up.

We’re sweet on Malta +1.75 at odds of -115 when it comes to their clash against Poland, with half our Asian Handicap stake going on +1.5 and the other half going on +2.0. The hosts should perform well.

Malta come into this match in winning form after having defeated Finland 1–0 on the road in their most recent World Cup qualifier at the Olympiastadion. Emilio De Leo's team recorded just 39% possession and had one shot on target, with Jake Grech bagging a late winning goal.

Poland drew 1–1 in their previous match, a home World Cup qualifier against the Netherlands at the National Stadium in Warsaw. The Eagles were restricted to 42% possession and recorded six shots on goal, with Jakub Kaminski finding the net.
