Both teams have won only once each in the Qualifiers so far with Cyprus at the bottom of the table with 4 points and a goal difference of -10 while Malta is a place ahead of them at 5th with 4 points and a goal difference of -9 from 7 matches. Cyprus are also on a 5- match losing streak while Malta has lost their last 3 matches and last 5 away games. However, Malta won the reverse fixture of the tie 3-0 and will be looking for a repeat of the performance here.
Ioannis Pittas is the only goal scorer for Cyprus with 1 goal from 7 appearances while averaging 1.9 shots, 1.6 shots, 0.6 key passes, 1.6 tackles, 0.6 interceptions, and 12.9 passes per match. He is their best bet for goal contributions.
Grigoris Kastanos averages 1.1 shots, 0.4 key passes, 2 tackles, 1.4 interceptions, and 28.9 passes per match, making him a valuable source for fantasy points from the midfield.
Nicholas Ioannou has started and played full time in all 7 matches while averaging 0.4 key passes, 2.3 tackles, 0.6 interceptions, and 29.3 passes per match. He is a decent source for fantasy points from the defense.
Luke Montebello will be leading the attack for the visitors. He is yet to score or assist in the tournament and averages 1 shot, 0.4 key passes, and 11.6 passes per match.
Joseph Mbong has scored and assisted 2 goals each in 7 matches while averaging 1.3 shots, 0.6 key passes, 2.3 tackles, 1 interception, and 20.4 passes per match. He is their best bet for goal contributions and is a must-have midfielder pick.
Steve Borg has started in 5 matches and averages 1.6 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 49.4 passes per match, making him an excellent source for fantasy points from the defense.
