St. Andrews form and stats

3-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the First Division numbers at home for St. Andrews so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager Said led his Andrews to a defeat away at Sliema Wanderers. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at MFA Centenary Stadium.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Vittoriosa Stars in a game that was won 2-0.

The St. Andrews fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the St. Andrews defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Marsa form and stats

There's been little loot from Marsa's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the First Division. Marsa only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. Marsa has drawn their two previous away games.

There were no winners in Marsa's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Attard (placed 12th).

A 0-0 draw at Fgura United's stadium before that.

Marsa's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Data for the prior three meetings featuring these two participants are: zero wins for St. Andrews, one draw and two wins for Marsa. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: two games.
