George's are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Swieqi fixture. A depressing six defeats in a row for George's in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Swieqi.
The game before that, in the First Division, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Pembroke Athleta.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from St. George's's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. For George's, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
