Straining Mqabba cross their fingers to pull off a surprise win when they greet high-flying Zejtun Corinthians in the next league fixture. It’s 10th vs 3rd and the home regulars will have so-so expectations.

Insights:
  • Mqabba have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
  • Zejtun Corinthians have not yet lost a game away.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

This pitch has sand pitch, which is not Zejtun Corinthians's normal surface at their own football field. When playing on sand pitch Zejtun Corinthians have performed like this: Played 14 matches with the output 5 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats with the goal stats 12-11 (scored/conceded).
