Addresses within the same locality can require different postcodes, so a town-level guess is not reliable.

Malta Postal Codes: How to Find the Right Postcode
A Malta postcode belongs to a specific address, so it should be looked up rather than guessed from the town name. Use the MaltaPost Postcode Finder, check the spelling and address fields against the official record, and ask the recipient or organisation to confirm a critical address.
