Malta won: 0
Match Draw: 0
Prediction: Italy 2 – 0 Malta
Malta lost in 5 and made a draw which keep them last position into this Group. To play against Italy is really a challenging job for Malta cause of lack of experience and skill. Though Italy have little bit weakness in forwards at this moment but their quality passing football would make a big difference in goals.
