Euro 2012 preliminaries matches kick off this week with this only match on Thursday when Israel welcomes Malta in Group F.
Israel is rated as a clear favorite for this match against a team candidate for the last spots in this group with bookies offering victory odds at around 1,1.
Croatia and Greece will probably be the best candidates for the top 2 spots and Israel needs to take every match serious if they are to cause problems and claim a spot in the final tournament.
Malta has no real prospects in achieving great things in this group, although their opponents are far from top class, the small Mediterranean country has no history or tradition in international tournaments.
Finishing their World Cup 2010 qualification last with only one point gathered they failed to win any of the following 4 friendly matches with 3 defeats and one draw at home against Macedonia.
My tip: Israel to win ( over 3.5 goals )
