Finland is the overwhelming favorite in this match. Playing at home against the group's bottom team, who have not won a single game and conceded 16 goals, the hosts are expecting a confident victory. However, their own attacking form is not particularly productive, which could hinder a rout.
Malta's statistics are dismal: only one goal scored in six qualifying matches. The team has demonstrated extremely low attacking efficiency and is unlikely to seriously threaten the hosts' goal on the road. Their modest attacking potential is a key factor.
Given Finland's absolute superiority and the visitors' attacking ineptitude, the likelihood of Malta scoring is extremely low.
