Competition: Gibraltar Premier Division
Competition: Fri 17.December
Match begins: 19:45 (UTC)

This campaign has been strenuous for Lions FC up to now, while Europa FC have done well. Will the highest placed win again at Victoria Stadium?

Insights:
  • Lions FC have yet to win a game.
  • Europa FC have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

It's no vacation for neither Lions nor Europa FC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Lions FC form and stats

Three Premier Division home games done for Lions FC, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Lions, who played 0-0 against Europa FC. That match was also played at this venue (Victoria Stadium).

Heartbreak before that as Lions lost 2-3 at Europa Point's place.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Europa FC to win. Let's see if Lions FC are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: five games found revealing zero Lions FC wins, two draws and three defeats.

Lions are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Lions defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Europa FC form and stats

It's gone fairly well in the Premier Division away games so far for Europa FC with six points collected from three matches.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Lions FC (placed 9th) in their previous outing. The Premier Division match ended in a draw 0-0.

A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Lynx.

As mentioned earlier, Europa FC will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in four wins (four by two or more goals winning margin), one draw and zero surprising defeats.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Europa FC alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (9 from 3 played). 3 goals have been conceded by Europa in these games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Lions zero wins, zero draws and Europa FC ten victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
