The Marsa & Qrendi managers are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the First Division league table.
- Marsa has the most clean sheets (5) in First Division
- Qrendi haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
The visiting Qrendi played their last game only four days ago, a First Division match.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Marsa form and stats
Marsa, who have the most clean sheets (5) in First Division, have been outstanding at home so far in the First Division with 5 wins, 0 draws and only 1 loss. Marsa has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Victor Tedesco Stadium. We remember; it was Vittoriosa Stars.
Marsa are returning here after visiting Fgura United in a First Division game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Marsa as they are travelling to their away game against St. Andrews in the First Division. That match is three days after this one.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (14 in 6 games), Marsa's attacking play is working. Marsa have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Qrendi form and stats
As the visiting team in First Division matches, Qrendi have produced an overall stat of 2-2-2 so far.
Qrendi might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Swieqi proved too strong as Qrendi slumped to a 0-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Luxol Sports Ground. Prior to that result Qrendi won their away game at Qormi. The scoreline was 1-0.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Swieqi was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The visiting Qrendi have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 6 games. 7 goals have been conceded by Qrendi in these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Marsa zero wins, two draws and Qrendi two victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Marsa missing players
