National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Mosta or Luqa that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Mosta nor Luqa 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.
Mosta form and stats
Mosta was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Fa Trophy.With 2 Premier League wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Mosta are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Mosta's last game was hosting Santa Lucia and winning 1-0.
Before that match, a Premier League win away at Balzan.It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Mosta have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 13 games found in the database showing five Mosta wins, two draws and six defeats.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Mosta as they are travelling to their away game against Floriana in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
Mosta has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Mosta have conceded 16 from these games.
Luqa form and stats
They also participated in Fa Trophy last season. This ended in the 2nd round.Luqa might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Fgura United proved too strong as Luqa slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans.
Preceding that game, the 0-5 loss visiting Pieta Hotspurs's place.Head 2 Head
