Fgura United form and stats

Fgura United have collected 11 points from their First Division home games so far after 3-2-2. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Fgura to get some points in this home game.

Fgura are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus San Gwann. Preceding that match was the home game against Marsa that was lost 0-3.

Fgura are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. On the other hand, Fgura have conceded 10 goals.

St. Andrews form and stats

Still no away game victory in the First Division for St. Andrews, who have the fewest scored goals (2) away in First Division, with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Andrews had fun at their own home (MFA Centenary Stadium) last time out, beating Mqabba 4-0. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Marsaxlokk.

As mentioned above, Andrews was the only team on the pitch versus Mqabba in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Andrews as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Andrews in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; St. Andrews - Fgura United 0-3. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Fgura won one game, three matches ended with a draw and St. Andrews has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / two
