MALTA U21 NATIONAL TEAM TAKE ON GERMANY TONIGHT

The Malta Under-21 national team faces a daunting challenge tonight as they take on Germany in a UEFA European U21 Championship qualifier at the Sportpark Ronhof in Fürth. Coach Davide Mazzotta’s squad, still searching for their first points in Group F, will need a disciplined and resilient performance to halt a run of heavy defeats that has seen them concede 12 goals in three matches.

Mazzotta has responded by making six changes to the squad, recalling Kean Scicluna, Jake Vassallo, Lucas Caruana, Nicholas Agius, Josh Pitts, and Miguel Azzopardi. The team is expected to line up in a compact 5-3-2 formation, aiming to frustrate Germany’s attacking trio of Nicolo Tresoldi, Nelson Weiper, and rising star Lennart Karl.

Germany, sitting second in the group behind Greece, enter the match determined to bounce back from an inconsistent October window. Head coach Antonio Di Salvo has reinforced his squad with key defensive returns and fresh attacking options, signaling intent to claim all three points.

Kick-off is at 18:00 CET, with live coverage on TVMSport.mt.
