In my opinion, Slovenia are closer to win in this game, without doubt, its a better side led by great names of European football as Josip Ilicic and Jan Oblak between the posts. Slovenia still have some slim hopes to reach the World Cup but it seems the miracle is needed for coach Matjaz Kek and his players. Slovenia are currently six points behind second-place Russia with four games remaining and host Russia on Monday. It means that victory in this game in Malta is a MUST, but they have lost all three away games in this qualifying campaign so far. Malta have never beaten Slovenia in 7 previous meetings (losing 6) and has only won three of their 108 matches in World Cup qualifying history. Winger Jurgen Degabriele is back available again after missing September's matches through injury, but Ryan Camenzuli is suspended in the Malta squad. Andrei Agius, Ferdinando Apap and Bjorn Kristensen have all been omitted from the squad for a breach of the team's code of ethics.

Malta possible starting lineup:Bonello; Muscat, Borg, Shaw; Attard, Pisani, Teuma, Degabriele; J. Mbong, Montebello, P. Mbong

Slovenia possible starting lineup: Oblak; Stojanovic, Bijol, Mevlja, Balkovec; Kurtic, Gnezda Cerin, Lovric; Ilicic, Sesko, Mlakar

It's never easy to trust the seriousness of Slovenian NT but this time I think they see this game as one that they have to win and with full concentration, they will make it.

在我看来，斯洛文尼亚在这场比赛中更接近胜利，毫无疑问，这是一支更好的球队，由欧洲足球的伟大人物领导，如约瑟夫·伊利奇和扬·奥巴克在门柱之间。斯洛文尼亚仍然有一些渺茫的希望进入世界杯，但似乎奇迹需要教练马贾兹凯克和他的球员。斯洛文尼亚目前落后第二名俄罗斯队6分，比赛还剩4场，将于周一迎战俄罗斯队。这意味着这场在马耳他的比赛的胜利是必须的，但到目前为止，他们已经输掉了预选赛的所有三场客场比赛。马耳他在之前的7场比赛中从未击败过斯洛文尼亚(输了6场)，在其世界杯预选赛的108场比赛中只赢了3场。边锋德加布里埃莱因伤缺席了9月份的比赛，现在又可以上场了，但是卡曼祖利被禁赛。安德烈·阿吉斯(Andrei Agius)、费迪南多·阿帕(Ferdinando Apap)和比约恩·克里斯滕森(Bjorn Kristensen)都因违反球队的道德准则而被排除在国家队之外。
