Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Hibernians & Zurrieq face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Zurrieq form and stats
Zurrieq's mission in Fa Trophy last season failed in the preliminary round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Zurrieq so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-7 (win-draw-lose).
Zurrieq are travelling after their nice 5-1 home win in the fixture against Lija Athletic. As mentioned above, Zurrieq was the only team on the pitch versus Lija Athletic in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.
