England will beat Malta in their World Cup qualifier away from home on Friday but the question is what will be the correct score. England are currently at number 13 in the world rankings while Malta are 190th. The fixture is one of those meaningless qualifiers when everyone knows which team will win. England are 1/20 to pick up three points and 11/10 with a handicap of three goals.
There have been four full internationals between the two countries and England have won them all. However, they have only scored 10 goals in those fixtures and have conceded 1. Three games were won to nil and the same number were won by two goals or less. Malta are a poor outfit but they rarely capitulate.
The only drubbing was back in 1971 when England beat Malta 5-0 at Wembley but England had a good side in those days. Last year the home side won the match at the same venue by scoring two goals without reply. So, the correct score advice is to back England to beat Malta 2-0 which is 4/1 with bet365.
