KickoffSunday 4 October 2026, 5:00pm

VenueNational Stadium Ta' Qali

CompetitionUEFA Nations League

There is something quietly fascinating about a match where the result barely matters on paper but one team is still fighting for its identity. Malta versus Andorra in the UEFA Nations League is exactly that kind of fixture. Both sides are already assured of moving up to League C regardless of what happens at the National Stadium in Ta’ Qali, but strip away the mathematics and you still have a home nation with real momentum hosting a side that genuinely cannot stop conceding and cannot start scoring. That tension alone makes this worth watching.

For Andorra, this is a chance to end a miserable run and prove to themselves they can compete before the next chapter begins. For Malta, it is an opportunity to go into League C on a high, backed by a crowd that has every reason to believe the team is heading in the right direction. Promotion was almost inevitable given how the Reds have been performing, but how you get there still matters to the players and the supporters turning up on the terraces.

Malta vs Andorra Match Details

This UEFA Nations League League D fixture takes place at the National Stadium in Ta’ Qali, Malta’s home ground that carries genuine weight for a nation that has started this campaign with real intent. The Reds have already secured their place in League C for the next cycle, but finishing matchday three with another positive result would send a message about what kind of side they are becoming under Emilio De Leo.

Team News

Malta are about as well placed as a manager can hope for coming into a matchday. De Leo has no injury worries to deal with and can pick from his full squad, which is a real luxury at this level. The same core that produced a strong showing in the reverse fixture is available and firing.

• Irvin Cardona fit and available after scoring and assisting in the first meeting with Andorra
• Teddy Teuma also in fine fettle after his own goal and assist in that reverse fixture
• Ylas Chouaref ready to cause problems from wide areas again
• No suspensions reported for the Reds

Andorra head into this on the back of a rough patch and their situation up front is a genuine concern for Koldo Alvarez. Guillaume Lopez grabbed a goal in the reverse fixture but has gone quiet since then, failing to find the net against Gibraltar and Lithuania. Albert Rosas and Jordi Alaez carry more of the international scoring pedigree with five and four goals respectively, and one of them may need to step up if the Tricolours are to get anything from this.

Predicted Lineups

De Leo looks set to name largely the same side that performed so well in the first meeting between these two. Cardona leads the line with Teuma pulling strings behind him, and Chouaref causing havoc out wide. The back four looks settled and with nothing to force his hand, there is little reason for the gaffer to tinker.

Malta likely XI: Bonello; Corbalan, Shaw, Pepe, Camenzuli; Guillaumier, Satariano; Mbong, Teuma, Chouaref; Cardona

Andorra will line up in a similar shape to the first leg. Alvarez does not have many options to change things up, and Lopez will likely lead the attack again despite his recent drought. Alaez offers a goal threat from slightly deeper positions and could be important if the visitors are to nick anything.

Andorra likely XI: Alvarez; Font, Llovera, Olivera, Nicolas; Planes, Muller; Alaez, Lopez, Rodrigo; Garcia

Recent Form

Malta have been solid in this Nations League campaign. A 2-1 win over Andorra in the reverse fixture and a draw with Gibraltar shows a side that is hard to beat and capable of hurting teams when the chances arrive. De Leo has built something with genuine shape to it, and Teuma and Cardona in particular look like they are playing some of the best football of their international careers right now.

Andorra’s form across recent fixtures tells a much grimmer story. Four games without a win, three defeats in that stretch, and goals have been almost impossible to come by. They have managed to score in only two of their last ten matches across all competitions. Ten matches. That is a staggering stat and it puts almost everything into context. You cannot win games if you are not scoring, and at the moment this Andorra side looks like a team that has had every scrap of confidence beaten out of it.

What is particularly concerning for the visitors is that their single win in those ten outings came against a weak opponent. Seven defeats in that run. When a side concedes freely and cannot find the net, travelling to face a confident Malta at their home ground is about as tough a proposition as you can face in League D football.

Head-to-Head Record

Malta have never lost to Andorra. Seven meetings in recorded history and the Reds have avoided defeat in every single one of them. The first three encounters ended in draws, but in their last four head to head meetings Malta have won three. That is not a coincidence, that is a pattern.

Playing at Ta’ Qali adds another layer of comfort for the home side. Andorra have historically struggled to impose themselves on the road at this level, and nothing in their recent form suggests that is about to change. If Malta win or draw here, it will be eight unbeaten in the all time series against the Tricolours.

Key Stats

• Andorra have scored in just two of their last ten matches across all competitions
• Malta have gone unbeaten in all seven previous meetings with Andorra, winning three of the last four
• Cardona and Teuma both scored and assisted in the reverse fixture just a fortnight ago

Malta vs Andorra Betting Tips

This looks like a fixture that sets up really well for the home side. Malta are in form, have a full squad available, and are playing at home against a side that has barely scored in two and a half months of football. The value in this game points heavily in one direction, and it is hard to make a strong case for Andorra getting anything from Ta’ Qali.

Cards Prediction

Andorra have been under pressure in most of their recent matches and tend to give away fouls when they are chasing the game. Expect a few bookings as Malta push forward in the second half, with Andorran players likely to commit professional fouls to slow things down. Over three cards looks a reasonable shout here.

Corners Prediction

With Malta expected to dominate possession and Chouaref stretching the play from wide positions, the home side should rack up a healthy number of corners. Andorra are likely to sit in and defend, which naturally pushes Malta out wide. Over eight corners for the match feels comfortable given how the Reds like to get wide and deliver.

First Goalscorer Prediction

Irvin Cardona is the pick here. He scored in the reverse fixture, he is leading the line for a Malta side that creates chances and he is sharp right now. As the focal point of the attack against a defence that has been shipping goals regularly, Cardona has every reason to get on the scoresheet early and at a decent price as first goalscorer.

Correct Score Prediction

A 2-0 win for Malta feels about right. The Reds have the quality to find a couple of goals without too much trouble, and with Andorra struggling so badly to score there is a real case for a clean sheet at Ta’ Qali. Two goals feels like a conservative estimate of Malta’s output, but it reflects the fact that Andorra will set up to be difficult to break down even if they cannot threaten going forward.

Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Prediction

No is the call here, and it is hard to argue against it. When a team has scored in just two of their last ten matches, backing them to find the net in any given game is a tough sell. Andorra have shown no signs of rediscovering their goalscoring touch and Malta’s back four has looked organised throughout this campaign. BTTS No at decent odds makes plenty of sense.

Over and Under Goals Prediction

Over 1.5 goals is the comfortable selection given Malta’s attacking form and the likelihood they find the net more than once. Going higher to over 2.5 is tempting given Andorra’s defensive fragility, but with the visitors likely to park the bus and make it difficult, sticking at over 1.5 is the safer route that should come in without too much stress.

Bet Builder Tip

Three selections that all point to the same outcome, a dominant Malta performance with Cardona doing the damage and Andorra failing to find a way through at the other end.

Final Match Prediction

Malta win this comfortably. The home side have every advantage you could want heading into this fixture: a full squad, strong recent form, a historically dominant record against the opposition, and the backing of their own crowd at Ta’ Qali. Teuma and Cardona are the creative engine of this team right now and they looked unstoppable when these two sides met in the reverse fixture.

Andorra simply do not have the firepower to trouble a well organised Malta defence, and their own backline has looked vulnerable throughout this campaign. De Leo’s side should get the job done without too much drama. Final score: Malta 2-0 Andorra.
