Malta is still seeking its first point in the group and even its first goal after suffering four 1-0 defeats and two 2-0 defeats in the six matches played so far. Edwin Camilleri’s side has already met Ukraine away from home, last year, losing 1-0.
The locals are coming from a unfortunate 1-0 defeat to Belgium in March. Two weeks ago, Malta shared the spoils in a goalless draw with Cyprus.
The game at Ta’ Qali will be controlled by Danish referee Lars Christoffersen.
