The second round of the European World Cup Qualifiers 2026 continues this week, and the likes of England and Poland will look to impress their fans when they host Latvia and Malta, respectively.
This week’s European World Cup 2026 qualifiers predictions were based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.
European World Cup Qualifiers 2026 predictions: 24/03/2025
England and Latvia to entertain fans with goals: England vs Latvia
- Date: 24/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Goals are usually scored in matches involving England, and with Latvia conceding goals for fun, there’s a big chance the upcoming game will follow suit.
Four of England’s last six matches ended with three or more goals, while three of Latvia’s last six matches produced three or more goals. Although this may be their first encounter in a competitive game according to some outlets, the Three Lions are expected to feast at Wembley.
England vs Latvia prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Albania and Andorra will struggle in the final third: Albania vs Andorra
- Date: 24/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Matches involving either team rarely end with many goals, and the upcoming game may end similarly because both teams struggle to find the back of the net.
Four of Albania’s last six matches ended with under 2.5 goals, while Andorra’s last four competitive matches ended with less than three goals. Five of Andorra’s last six international friendly games finished with less than three goals, so there’s a big chance the upcoming game may follow suit.
Albania vs Andorra prediction: Under 2.5 goals
San Marino to succumb in front of their fans: San Marino vs Romania
- Date: 24/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Romania are in superb form, and there’s no way struggling San Marino would avoid a defeat even in front of their fans.
San Marino are inconsistent, having won only two of their last ten matches. Expecting them to avoid a defeat against a Romania team that won their last six competitive matches is a massive task.
San Marino vs Romania prediction: Away team to win
Finland and Lithuania to struggle in the final third: Lithuania vs Finland
- Date: 24/03/2025
- Kick-off: 18:00
- Both teams are in dreadful form, and that’s mainly due to their poor attack.
Four of Lithuania’s last six matches may have ended with over 2.5 goals, but this game may lack goals because both teams struggle to score goals, and having lost their last six competitive matches, we expect a low-scoring game in Lithuania.
Lithuania vs Finland prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Poland and Malta to entertain fans with goals: Poland vs Malta
- Date: 24/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Poland's matches often conclude with numerous goals, and given their struggles to maintain clean sheets, the upcoming game is expected to be filled with goals.
Malta’s last five competitive matches may have ended with under 2.5 goals, but there’s a huge chance the upcoming game may produce many goals because five of Poland’s last six matches ended with over 2.5 goals. The Polish team will set the pace of the game, and with Malta likely to score, we anticipate a minimum of three goals in this encounter.
Poland vs Malta prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Bosnia & Herzegovina and Cyprus will delight fans with goals: Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Cyprus
- Date: 24/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Goals are usually scored in matches involving both teams, and the upcoming game is expected to end similarly.
Three of Bosnia’s last six competitive matches ended with over 2.5 goals, while five of Cyprus’ last six matches ended with three or more goals. Both teams have met a few times, and three of their most recent four meetings produced three or more goals, so we can expect the same from the upcoming game.
