Malta will today face Sweden in what will be their sixth match from the UEFA Under 21 Championship qualifying group. Both teams come from an identical 5-1 defeat with Malta losing at home to Poland and Sweden beaten in Greece.   Malta occupy the bottom spot in Group 7 and is still looking for a first positive result while Sweden have so far only managed four points from as many matches.  The Malta team today had two training sessions. One in the Old Malmo Stadium, one of the stadiums used during the Finals of World Cup 1958 and Euro 1992, and another training session at the match Stadium, the fantastic modern Swedbank new Malmo Stadium.  For this match Malta have recovered Jean Paul Farrugia from his injury which kept him out of the Poland match and Bjorn Kristensen and Christian Grech who served a one match ban in the last match.  The weather in Malmo is extremely cold with sub 0 tempreatures during the night.   Malta's probable starting formation for tomorrow's match:  Jurgen Borg, Christian Grech, Zach Muscat, Daniel Zerafa, Sacha Borg, Bjorn Kristensen, Clyde Borg, Ryan Scicluna, Steve Pisani, Jurgen Pisani and Jean Paul Farrugia.
