The First Division league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Naxxar Lions and San Gwann are placed 9th and 2nd respectively.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a First Division game only three days ago.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
