It's early days in the First Division and both Marsaxlokk and Fgura United are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the First Division. That game was also an away game, at Qrendi. 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.
Marsaxlokk form and stats
The first First Division game here at Victor Tedesco Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Marsaxlokk's home game statistics were 4 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 11 games.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Pembroke Athleta that ended 1-1.
Marsaxlokk are traveling soon after this match as the First Division match at Mqabba awaits in three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Marsaxlokk's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
Fgura United form and stats
Things could have gone better for Fgura United in their First Division away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Two away games in a row for Fgura, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-4 versus Qrendi in the First Division. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Pembroke Athleta.
It's early days yet, but Fgura United has scored 4 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
