Slovakia defeated Malta 2–1 in an International Friendly on 1 June, with the hosts demonstrating superior control through a 4–3–3 setup that generated 0.49 xG compared to Malta's 0.28 xG from their 4–2–3–1 formation. Despite the low expected-goals figures reflecting a cautious encounter, Slovakia's clinical finishing proved decisive in securing the win. Malta's goalkeeper faced a post-shot expected goals conceded of 1.0, yet conceded two goals, indicating the visitors were undone by the quality of Slovakia's chances rather than volume. The friendly served as useful preparation for both sides ahead of their upcoming competitive fixtures.
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
