The First Division league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Marsa and Naxxar Lions are placed 14th and 13th respectively.
The hosts Marsa saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the First Division. That game was an away game at Pieta Hotspurs, so at least Marsa are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Marsa form and stats
Marsa's first First Division home game here at Victor Tedesco Stadium ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 1 win, 1 draw and 11 defeats from 13 matches. Marsa are slowly digging their own grave here at Victor Tedesco Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in 13 attempts.
