Maltose has a (1→4) α linkage between glucose and another glucose molecule.

Maltose is a disaccharide formed from two monosaccharides, glucose, and they are joined with an alpha (1→4) bond. This bond tells us that the first carbon of the first glucose is linked to the fourth carbon of the other glucose molecule.
