It's still early in the First Division season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Qormi - Swieqi preview!
It's no vacation for neither Qormi nor Swieqi as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Qormi form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first First Division game of the season here at Victor Tedesco Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from Qormi's 10 home games.
There will be little rest for Qormi after this match as they are travelling to Marsa for a First Division game in only four days.
Qormi has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Swieqi form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the First Division, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats from 10 matches.
Swieqi are travelling after their nice 5-4 home win in the First Division against Pieta Hotspurs (placed 13th). Prior to that result Swieqi won their away game at Naxxar Lions. The scoreline was 4-1.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Swieqi, as mentioned above. 9 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Swieqi manager R. Bugeja as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Pembroke Athleta.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Swieqi has managed 4 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Qormi zero wins, two draws and Swieqi one victory. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Qormi missing players
