Malta have been drawn against Greece, who will be hosting this tournament, Sweden and Montenegro. Sweden are by far the most experienced side in this group, having also qualified once, in 2013, where they finished as runners-up. Despite having never made it to the finals, Greece and Montenegro have abundant experience at their disposal, as this is not the first time they are involved in these qualifications.
Malta faces Sweden on Thursday, Greece on Saturday and Montenegro Tuesday. The three matches will be played at the Pampeloponnisiako Stadium in Patras.
