Italy will go against Malta on Sept. 11, during the FIFA World Cup qualifying round. Malta won three out of their last five games, beginning with a 0-2 victory over Israel in November 2011. However, Italy has not been as lucky - out of their last five games, they won only one, who two others determined only by a draw. Malta has played in every FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign since 1974, but they have never gone far enough to be a contender in the final event. Their only qualifying victory was a 1-0 win over Estonia in 1993.
