Struggling St. George's will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying San Gwann in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • St. George's has the fewest scored goals (8) in First Division
  • San Gwann have scored more than double the goals of St. George's.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the First Division. This match was also played here at Victor Tedesco Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, San Gwann have had more rest.

St. George's form and stats

St. George's's struggle is real here at Victor Tedesco Stadium with only 5 points collected from 7 First Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-4.

George's's last game was hosting St. Andrews (placed 12th) and winning 2-1. 1-1 away at Qormi before that.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the First Division game versus Zebbug Rangers in only three days. This game is also played here at Victor Tedesco Stadium.

The lack of attacking qualities in St. George's means that they have only scored 3 goals in 7 league home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, George's have conceded 10 goals.
