National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Qrendi or Xewkija that keep their silverware dream alive.
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!
Qrendi form and stats
Qrendi participated in Fa Trophy the last season, where they reached the preliminary round.Qrendi's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Tarxien Rainbows.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Fgura United (1-5).Xewkija form and stats
Xewkija's mission in Fa Trophy last season failed in the preliminary round.Playing away, Xewkija have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats in the Gozo First Division this season.
There might be some fixture complaints from Xewkija as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Gozo First Division match against Oratory (0-2).
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Victoria Hotspurs at their stadium, the result 3-2.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Xewkija manager J. Zammit as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sannat Lions.
Xewkija are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 7 times in 4 away games so far. The Xewkija defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 17 goals in their away games.
