Perhaps a welcome break from league football as St. Patrick & Mqabba face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the First Division. That game was also an away game, at St. George's. 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.
St. Patrick form and stats
Last season their Fa Trophy adventure ended in the 3rd round.The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at MFA Centenary Stadium, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Vittoriosa Stars game.
The fans are hoping that Patrick will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-6 away loss in the Fa Trophy game against Pembroke Athleta. St. Patrick were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Attard and winning 1-0.Mqabba form and stats
