The upcoming match between the Netherlands and Malta marks a crucial point in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification for Group G. With the Netherlands aiming for a strong showing after recent successes, including a semi-final finish at UEFA Euro 2024, they are seen as favorites against Malta, who struggle for recognition in football. Currently, the Dutch sit third in their group, needing a win to stay competitive, while Malta lags behind, having yet to experience a win in this qualification cycle. Their current form suggests a challenging match for the underdogs.
The Netherlands are a major power in European and world football and have a strong history behind them. The Oranje are expected to qualify for major international competitions with ease.
Malta are one of the smallest European countries and are minnows. They do not qualify for major international competitions and are not expected to ever.
