World Cup Qualifiers - Netherlands VS Malta: Crushing the game, can the uncrowned kings beat the super fat

In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the Netherlands' signing luck is still good. The four opponents in the same group in the group stage, Finland and Poland are at most second-rate in Europe, and Finland can only be considered second-rate in the Nordic circle, while Poland's top scorer Lewandowski is having conflicts with the coach. As for Lithuania and Malta, it is a boy who gives away points.

As for the Netherlands to suppress Poland and Finland and enter the 2026 World Cup, that is definitely true.

Netherlands vs Malta

Nature of the match: World Cup qualifiers European Group G round 4

Match time: June 11 2:45

The Netherlands currently ranks 6th in the world, with a total value of 688 million euros. Malta currently ranks 169th in the world in FIFA, with a total team worth 9.55 million euros.

The Netherlands currently has 1 win and 3 points in Group G, but it is only 3 points away from the top of the list with one round of the game. The Netherlands in this group is almost outstanding, and it is a foregone conclusion to compete for the top spot in the group to directly advance.

Malta scored 1 draw 2 losses 1 point in the group with 1 point, scoring 0 goals and conceding 3 goals, and both offense and defense were in a quagmire. For such a European team, participating in the World Cup qualifiers is just to accompany the prince to study.

The two teams have never met before, and the Netherlands wants to write a new chapter with the power of home court.

The Netherlands has scored 11 goals in the last five games, averaging 2.2 goals per game. The forward line led by Depp and Garkepo has both speed and skills. After Deppy scored a Finnish goal in the last round, the national team scored 48 goals, only 2 goals away from team history scorer Van Persie. Dominance at home: 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 10 home games, with a winning rate of 70%, including a 4-0 sweep of Hungary and a 5-2 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Dutch coach Koeman was only satisfied with his performance in the first 30 minutes of his 2-0 victory over Finland, criticizing the team for "careful control of the ball and insufficient pressure" and requiring him to remain focused on 90 minutes against Malta.

Malta scored 0 goals in 3 games in the World Cup, averaging only 0.5 goals in the last 10 games, and was hit by zero in 6 games. The weak forwards lead to the team relying on set pieces and counterattacks, which is inefficient. Away game attributes: 2 wins and 8 losses in the last 10 away games, with a winning rate of 20%, and the winning opponents are only the bottom of Andorra, Luxembourg and other fish. He conceded 1.8 goals per game away, and often collapsed against strong teams (such as losing to the Czech Republic 1-7). The only highlight: defensive toughness: conceded only 3 goals and 4 clean sheets in the last 6 games, drew 0-0 from Lithuania, and the central defender combination Pepe + Carragher needs to continue this state.

The Netherlands is expected to use the 4-2-3-1 formation, Deppy single arrow, Flynnon blasting on the right, Dejon middle lane dispatching. Core strategy: Combining high-pressing + side-middle, use Malta's weakness with a pass error rate of up to 58% to launch a fast attack.

Malta response: intensive defense 5-4-1, midfielder Giyomier + Tewuma focuses on interception, forward Mbon is isolated and helpless. Target: Compress space and slow down the pace, strive to achieve 0-0 or sneak attack.

Predicted results: Netherlands 4-0 Malta (2-0 halftime)
