Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Marsaskala & Valletta face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
The visiting Valletta played their last game only three days ago, a Premier League match. That game was also an away game, at Sirens. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
