One of the most local of local derbies among this week’s Euro 2016 qualifiers takes place in Florence on Thursday, when Italy will expect to keep up their challenge to qualify from Group H by beating a winless Malta.

The Italians have picked up 12 points from their six matches so far, a stark contrast to Malta’s one from their six games, and in reality this should really be a case of how many goals Antonio Conte’s men can score.



That’s not to say that Malta will roll over for them.

Familiar opponents in the past few years, the Maltese “only” lost 2-0 at home and away to Italy in qualifying for the 2014 World Cup, while earlier in this campaign, only debutant Graziano Pelle's goal proved the difference, as the Italians prevailed 1-0 following a short hop along the Mediterranean Sea last October.

Three successive draws—two with Croatia and one with Bulgaria—mean that the Italians dare not fail to win this one, something the crowd at Fiorentina’s Artemio Franchi will fully expect.
