The Malta national football team are ready to lock horns with the Poland national football team for their FIFA World Cup European qualifiers matchup. Ta’ Qali National Stadium will witness this interesting clash.
The Knights of Malta will be at home, and it is going to be one of the advantages for them. They have only been able to secure one win in their ongoing World Cup qualifying campaign. The Malta national football team will be under pressure due to their previous performance against Poland.
Meanwhile, the Orly are coming in after securing a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands in their last outing. They took the lead first, but gave the lead away after conceding a goal just minutes later.
