World Cup 2022 match between Malta and Russia at Ta’ Qali

Mar 24 2021

Malta will make the 2022 World Cup debut by facing the Russian team at Ta’ Qali this evening, 24th March 2021. Malta had an impressive run in the UEFA Nations League, but according to national coach Devis Mangia, the situation in the qualifiers will be completely different. Mangia stated this during the pre-match press conference, exclaiming that the team is ‘starting a new competition’, a completely new experience.

The Maltese coach acknowledged Russia’s capability and that the team is unlikely to enjoy the same amount of possession as in the UEFA matches. Despite this, he stressed the importance of possession. Malta will face Slovakia after Russia, and then Croatia, with both matches away from home.
