Andorra vs Malta

Andorra host Malta in UEFA Nations League D on Thursday, 24 September 2026 at Estadi de la FAF d'Encamp in Encamp. Across two meetings in 2024, Malta held Andorra scoreless over 180 minutes of football.

Malta unbeaten in 2024 meetings

The two sides met twice during the 2024 Nations League campaign, producing a combined total of one goal across both fixtures. On 10 September 2024, Malta travelled to Andorra and came away with a 1-0 victory. Two months later, on 19 November 2024, the return fixture finished 0-0 in Malta.

Those results gave Malta four points from the two games and extended Andorra's wait for a goal against them. Across those two matches, the Maltese back line kept consecutive clean sheets, while the home side were unable to break through in either half.

Group opening at Estadi de la FAF d'Encamp

The match opens League D Matchweek 1 for both nations. With Gibraltar also sharing Group D1 in the 2026/27 campaign, early points determine the path to promotion. Estadi de la FAF d'Encamp in Encamp stages this first encounter between the two sides before Malta host the reverse fixture on 4 October 2026.

Andorra enter the group stage seeking their first goal against Malta since their scoreless draw in November 2024. For Malta, the trip to Encamp provides an opportunity to repeat their September 2024 performance, when a solitary goal separated the two teams at full-time.

Our model leans narrowly towards a Malta win

Our forecasting model leans narrowly towards a Malta win for Thursday's opener. The low-confidence call reflects the tight history between these two sides.

Malta secured a 1-0 away victory on 10 September 2024 before drawing 0-0 on 19 November 2024, demonstrating their defensive solidity against Andorra while scoring just one goal themselves. Andorra's ability to hold Malta to a 0-0 draw in their most recent meeting keeps the contest close as League D begins.
