Poland are second in this World Cup qualifying group after the first round of matches. The Eagles will be confident of a second win when hosting Malta who are bottom of the table. Here's our match prediction.
Also in Group G are Lithuania and the Netherlands. Poland had to work hard to get their opening win on Friday. A second-half goal by Robert Lewandowski gave them a 1-0 win.
Not since 2014 have the Poles failed to reach the finals. They should be able to at least finish second in this group and go into the play-offs. Only one of their last 14 home World Cup qualifiers has ended in defeat.
Malta were beaten 1-0 at home by Finland in their opening group fixture played on Friday. That ended a run of four games without defeat but those were played against lower-ranked countries in the Nations League.
Their last away match saw them win 1-0 at Andorra. Before that though, the Reds had lost five successive matches and conceded 16 goals. Only two points have been earned from their last 11 away World Cup qualifiers, last winning one 12 years ago.
We tip Poland to win this match.

Our Poland vs Malta Prediction
This is the lull before the storm for Poland. Beginning with home qualifiers against Lithuania and Malta, they would fully expect to earn six points. Three are already in the bag and another win looks very likely on Monday but then it'll be Spain or the Netherlands they play.
Malta have had success against lowly ranked teams but still struggle against the ones much higher in the rankings. This is unlikely to be a landslide win for the Poles but our Poland v Malta prediction is Poland to win.
