National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Marsa or Sirens that keep their silverware dream alive.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a First Division match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Pembroke Athleta, was also a home game here at MFA Centenary Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Marsa form and stats
Last season, Marsa's Fa Trophy journey ended in the 2nd round.The home supporters can't complain about results here at MFA Centenary Stadium as Marsa have scored 25 goals to get 26 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the First Division are 8-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). In general it's been a long time since Marsa tasted defeat here at MFA Centenary Stadium, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league. Marsa has a nice streak going on as they have played 18 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Pieta Hotspurs defeat 120 days ago.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to San Gwann in only three days.
The Marsa manager has got the team scoring with 25 from 11 home games in the league. From these home matches, Marsa have conceded only 6 goals.
