Euro 2024 Qualifying | England VS Malta; Saturday, 18 November at 03:45 GMT +8

England, a top-tier team, is a favorite for the EURO 2024 title. With two more games in the qualifications, they have secured a spot in the tournament after Gareth Southgate’s team collected 16 points from six matches. England won seven of the last eight games, including friendlies, and took the lead in the 15th minute against Italy. However, the home side performed better in the rest of the match, earning all three points. Malta, one of the weakest European teams in this group, is likely to finish qualifications with all defeats if they lose against England. Their only wins this year came in friendlies against Luxembourg and Gibraltar. In the previous game, Malta lost 3-1 against Ukraine, taking the lead in the 12th minute.

England’s November games against Malta and North Macedonia will provide an opportunity for players to be tested, including 21-year-old Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer, who has recently impressed for his team and will make his debut against Malta on Friday night.

Malta’s only European league player, Teddy Teuma from Reims, has returned from a hiatus due to October games. However, it’s unlikely that a single player will significantly impact a team like England.

Predicted lineups:

England

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford
Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Marc Guehi, Harry Maguire, Levi Colwill
