The Maltese national team, without qualifying options for many weeks, seeks to close this preliminary phase in the most dignified way possible. With a cast of mostly militant footballers in his national league, coach Denis Mangia has scored five points in the first eight matchdays, coming from two draws against Slovakia and Cyprus and a victory against the Cypriots. Little by little, football begins to gain relevance in this country (the current leader of the first division, the Hibernians, was in the last previous rounds of the Conference League), but it still has a long way to go to be a competitive nation. In the short term, he will try to be an uncomfortable opponent for Croatia.
As to follow: Joseph Mbong. Of Nigerian origin and Maltese national, he plays as a right winger and is the top scorer for this team in this qualifying phase. He has seen goal twice, once against Russia and once against Cyprus.
