Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Happy days for Pembroke Athleta in their previous game, a First Division match away at Naxxar Lions (placed 7th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Xghajra.

With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Pembroke Athleta defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Zebbug Rangers are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
