Bet Of The Day March 23 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Malta have lost 84 per cent of their 112 Euro qualifying games
Malta have lost their last eight straight away Euro qualifiers
Malta haven’t scored a single goal in those eight defeats
North Macedonia have won five of the six previous meetings
Four of North Macedonia’s last five wins have been to nil
North Macedonia beat Italy 1-0 in that period

We’re off to Euro 2024 qualifying for today’s best bet as North Macedonia and Malta square off in their first game in Group C.

It’s a tough group for both teams, with Italy, England and Ukraine all ranked inside the top 30 in the latest FIFA rankings.

However, North Macedonia will fancy themselves to make things competitive after qualifying for their first major tournament at Euro 2020. Malta meanwhile will count themselves lucky to take a single point, let alone qualify, which they’ve never done in their history.

Malta are going to be the whipping boys of this group and we can get great value in North Macedonia to win this match and keep a clean sheet in the process.

Malta have lost 84 per cent of their 112 Euro qualifying games over the course of their history, conceding an average of 2.81 goals during this period.

Things get much tougher on the road for Malta, with the team losing their last eight straight away Euro qualifiers without scoring a single goal, including a 7-0 demolition job at the hands of Spain in their last such outing.

North Macedonia have won four of their last five competitive games to nil against similar sort of opposition, while they also defeated Italy 1-0 during that time.

With five wins from six in the H2H and Malta’s notorious struggles on the road, North Macedonia will be confident of producing a shut-out victory at home to launch their campaign.
