The game will be played at the Ta'Qali National Stadium on the 16th of June and the hosts are currently bottom of the group without a point while the visitors are top on 6 points.
Malta come into the game on the back of a 1-0 friendly win in Luxembourg. The only goal of the match was scored in the 64th minute and it was the first win in 5 games for Malta.
They lost each of their previous 3 fixtures, two of which were played in European Championship qualifying. There were defeats away to North Macedonia and at home against Italy.
Trends show Malta have won just 7 of their last 87 matches in all competitions. In terms of European Championship qualifiers, Malta have lost each of their last 11 fixtures and they have trouble both scoring and conceding goals.
Malta have scored only 2 goals in their 11 most recent European Championship qualifying matches and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 44 games in European Championship qualifiers.
Home form shows Malta have lost each of their last 5 European Championship qualifiers and have conceded 2 or more goals in each of those 5 games.
England travel to the Ta'Qali National Stadium having previously beat Ukraine 2-0 at home in European Championship qualifying.
It took England 37 minutes to make the breakthrough and they doubled their advantage just 3 minutes later to secure maximum points.
The win over Ukraine means England have won 4 of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions.
In addition to the victory over Ukraine, there have been wins over Wales and Senegal in the 2022 World Cup and a good 2-1 win in Italy in the European Championship qualifiers. The only defeat came against France at the World Cup.
Trends show in their last 106 games in all competitions, England have been undefeated on 93 occasions.
They have won 19 of their last 20 European Championship qualifiers and 9 of their last 10 European Championship qualifying games on the road. England have scored 3 or more goals in 6 of their last 8 away European Championship qualifiers.
Team news and the bulk of the Malta squad play in the domestic league with defender Zach Muscat and forward Jodi Felice Jones being the two exceptions. Experienced defender Steve Borg will captain the team.
England are without Jude Bellingham and Lewis Dunk who both withdrew from the squad due to injury. Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze is the only uncapped player in the squad and will be hoping to get some minutes from the bench.
This should be a comfortable game for England against a team who have been poor for some time. We expect to see England keep a clean sheet and score plenty of goals on their way to another victory.
