THE PREDICTION
Slovakia did not get their World Cup European Qualification campaign off to the start they wanted, after being held to a 0-0 draw away at Cyprus. Now trailing Slovenia and Russia by two points in Group H after their respective victories on the same matchday, Slovakia must get their first group win on the board against Malta in order to stay within the pack chasing that all-important automatic World Cup Qualification spot. The visitors were beaten 1-3 by Russia in their opening match and with an inferior squad to Slovakia from an ability perspective, it looks a tall order for them to gain anything from this match. Expect the hosts to come out of the blocks fast and control the tempo of this game early on, leading to them ultimately securing a comfortable win and an important three points.
