Hibernians will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 4 points behind Gzira United.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Gzira United have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 17-9-11 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.
