Malta vs Andorra Predictions

Malta vs Andorra preview: Hosts aim to extend unbeaten head-to-head record. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.

Malta welcome Andorra to Ta' Qali National Stadium on Sunday looking to maintain their unbeaten start to this Nations League campaign and preserve a commanding record in this fixture.

Three Punchy Stats

• Malta are unbeaten in all seven recorded meetings with Andorra.
• Andorra have lost eight of their last 10 competitive matches.
• Andorra have scored in only two of their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Emilio De Leo’s side have collected four points from their opening two matches, following a 2-1 victory away to Andorra with a 1-1 home draw against Gibraltar. Andorra, meanwhile, have one point after losing the reverse meeting before drawing 0-0 with Gibraltar.

With both sides advancing from League D to League C, the competitive pressure is reduced, but Malta still have an opportunity to reinforce their recent progress. Andorra arrive needing a response after another difficult sequence of results.

Malta hold the historical advantage

The head-to-head record provides Malta with plenty of encouragement. They have faced Andorra seven times in recorded history without losing, winning three of the last four after the opening three encounters ended level.

Their most recent meeting came only a fortnight ago, when Malta won 2-1 away from home. Irvin Cardona and Teddy Teuma were central to that success, with both players registering a goal and an assist.

Malta followed that victory by beating Liechtenstein 2-0 before their draw against Gibraltar. They controlled 62% possession in the latter game and registered five shots on target, with Joseph Mbong scoring.

The broader competitive numbers are less convincing. Across Malta’s last 10 competitive matches, they have recorded two wins, three draws and five defeats, averaging 0.7 goals per game. That underlines why their improved Nations League results matter: De Leo’s team are finding ways to collect points despite not carrying a prolific attacking record.

Teuma and Cardona have each scored twice across the relevant recent sample, while Ilyas Chouaref has supplied two assists. Their contributions give Malta several potential routes to troubling an Andorra defence that has spent considerable periods under pressure.

Andorra searching for attacking spark

Andorra’s greater concern is at the other end. They have scored in only two of their last 10 matches across all competitions, while their last 10 competitive fixtures have produced eight defeats and two draws.

Across that competitive sequence, Koldo Alvarez’s team have averaged only 0.4 goals and 5.0 attempts per match, including 1.6 shots on target. They have also averaged 33.8% possession, figures which illustrate the attacking limitations they must overcome at Ta' Qali.

There was at least some encouragement in the goalless draw against Gibraltar, when Andorra had 56% possession and recorded four shots on goal. However, they subsequently lost 3-0 against Lithuania, extending their winless run across competitive and non-competitive fixtures to four matches.

Guillaume Lopez offers one possible source of danger. He scored against Malta in the reverse fixture and has two goals across Andorra’s recent 10-game competitive sample. Albert Rosas and Jordi Alaez also bring international scoring experience, with five and four goals respectively.

Malta have no reported injury concerns, leaving De Leo able to select from a full squad. Cardona and Teuma are again likely to carry substantial attacking responsibility, while Chouaref provides another threat from the flank.

For Andorra, finding a way to contain that trio while creating more for Lopez will be crucial. Malta’s recent scoring numbers hardly suggest an overwhelming attacking force, but the hosts have been more productive in this Nations League campaign and have consistently found solutions against Sunday’s opponents.

Another competitive contest would therefore fit the evidence. Malta have history, home advantage and stronger recent results on their side, while Andorra’s shortage of goals remains the clearest obstacle to ending their long wait for a victory in this fixture.

🎯 Pick 1: Malta to win @ 4/6

Malta’s unbeaten start to this Nations League campaign is built upon a commanding historical superiority over Andorra, making the home victory the most coherent selection for this fixture. The hosts approach this match having never lost to their opponents in seven recorded meetings, a sequence that includes three victories from their last four encounters. That pattern was extended only a fortnight ago when Malta secured a 2-1 away victory, demonstrating their consistent ability to find solutions in this specific matchup.

The contrast in broader competitive reliability further supports the home side. Andorra travel to Ta’ Qali having lost eight of their last 10 competitive matches, a sequence during which they have managed to score in only two fixtures across all competitions. Koldo Alvarez’s team average just 0.4 goals, 5.0 attempts and 1.6 shots on target per competitive game while retaining 33.8% possession. When those limited attacking returns meet a Malta side that recently registered a 2-0 victory over Liechtenstein, the visitors face a demanding task to disrupt the established head-to-head record.

The strongest counter-argument lies in Malta’s own wider competitive output. Across their last 10 competitive matches, the hosts average a modest 0.7 goals per game. That figure indicates they are rarely prolific, meaning they often rely on narrow margins to collect points. However, the attacking contributions of Irvin Cardona and Teddy Teuma—who both registered a goal and an assist in the recent reverse fixture—provide a proven final-third edge. While Malta may not overwhelm opponents regularly, their strong historical record and the visitors’ severe shortage of competitive goals leave the home win firmly supported by the supplied facts.

🎯 Tactical Indicators

• Malta are unbeaten in all seven recorded meetings with Andorra, winning three of the last four.
• Andorra have lost eight of their last 10 competitive matches, averaging just 0.4 goals per game.
• Andorra have averaged only 1.6 shots on target and 33.8% possession in recent competitive matches.

Risk Factor: Malta’s average of 0.7 goals per game means narrow wins are common, risking the result if Andorra scores.

⚔️ Pick 2: Malta vs Andorra 2-0 @ 5/1

Selecting a 2-0 home victory requires the supplied evidence to support both Malta scoring exactly twice and Andorra failing to register a goal. The home side’s recent results provide a credible foundation for the required scoring output. Malta secured a 2-0 victory against Liechtenstein prior to their draw with Gibraltar, demonstrating their ability to reach this exact total. Furthermore, they scored twice in their 2-1 away victory over Andorra a fortnight ago, a match where Irvin Cardona and Teddy Teuma both delivered a goal and an assist. These returns suggest Malta can generate the necessary final-third opportunities to score twice at Ta’ Qali.

Crucially, Andorra’s severe attacking difficulties strongly support the possibility of a home clean sheet. The visitors have scored in only two of their last 10 matches across all competitions. Their broader competitive numbers—averaging just 0.4 goals, 5.0 attempts and 1.6 shots on target per match—illustrate a consistent inability to threaten the opposition. While Guillaume Lopez recently scored against Malta in the reverse fixture, Andorra subsequently returned to their scoreless pattern with a 0-0 draw against Gibraltar and a 3-0 defeat against Lithuania.

The primary risk to this correct-score selection stems from Malta’s wider competitive average of just 0.7 goals per match, which raises the possibility of a narrower 1-0 outcome. Additionally, Andorra’s goal in the recent meeting serves as a clear reminder that an exact-score bet remains fragile to a single concession. However, pairing Andorra’s prolonged scoring drought with Malta’s established head-to-head dominance and recent multi-goal performances makes the 2-0 scoreline a logical interpretation of the supplied data.
