Malta's rating gap decides it — Malta are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Malta's 66%. The draw at 21% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Malta at 66%?
Malta sit 185 points higher on our strength rating — 1278 to 1093. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge at home won 66.8% of 6,610 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 59–22–19.
Why only 66%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 66% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 21% and Andorra at 13%.
Why is the draw only 21%?
