Santa Lucia hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 13th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Balzan holds 7th place with 15 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Santa Lucia form and stats
With 1 Premier League win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Santa Lucia are certainly not brimming with confidence. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Santa Lucia to get some points in this home game. Game days have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Santa Lucia as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
The fans are hoping that Santa Lucia will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Premier League game against Floriana (placed 1st). In the game before, an away victory in the Fa Trophy match versus Sliema Wanderers with a 2-0 scoreline.
The lack of attacking qualities in Santa Lucia means that they have only scored 2 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Santa Lucia have conceded 9 from these games.
Balzan form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Balzan so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).
Balzan's last game was the home draw against Hamrun Spartans (1-1). A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs San Gwann.
The travelling fans enjoy Balzan's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 6 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Balzan have conceded 11 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
