World Cup Qualifying Match Prediction - Italy vs Malta

Continuing World Cup 2014 Qualifying match Italy will play against Malta at home today, after disappointing performance against Bulgaria on last match, Italy need to work extra to fix their performance. Malta is not a hard opponent for Italy, however if Italy play like their last match they can lose another point. 

Gazzetta Dello Sport predict that Prandelli would use 4-3-1-2 formation, Italy was played this formation in second half against Bulgaria which causing Bulgaria managed to get an equalizer on my opinion.

From Gazzeta Dello Sport
Barzagli and Bonucci still become the first choice to cover the defence, Peluso and Cassani will be positioned as Full Back. Nocerino will replaces De Rossi who injured, Diamanti as Attacking Midfileder, Osvaldo certainly will be the first choice due to his two goals against Bulgaria and Destro will have the chance replacing disappointing Giovinco.

A little chance for Italy to lose in this match, however they need to get back to their performance. I still believe Italy will win the match by 3-1.
