Malta host Gibraltar in the UEFA Nations League on 1 October 2026, with both nations sitting in Group A. As of 29 September 2026, Malta are first in that group after one match, while Gibraltar are second on one point following a draw – the two positions sit in the same Group A table and are directly comparable at this early stage of the competition.
Head-to-Head Record
Over all 3 recorded meetings between Malta and Gibraltar, running from 4 June 2014 to their most recent encounter on 6 September 2023, Malta have won twice and Gibraltar once, with no draws in that span. Malta have scored three goals to Gibraltar’s one across those meetings, and the average total goals per meeting sits at 1.33. Notably, every one of those three recorded meetings was an international friendly, so Wednesday’s Nations League fixture will be the first competitive clash between the two sides in this head-to-head window.

Three of those six matches, including recent wins over Liechtenstein and Azerbaijan, were friendlies rather than competitive fixtures, so only half the sample reflects competitive football.
