This match involves two sides residing in the lower parts of the First Division, Swieqi at 13th place and Mqabba in 17th. A nice chance for one of the teams to boost their situation.
- Swieqi have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their home matches.
- Mqabba have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
This is a battle between neighbours, usually meaning extra stress and significance.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Swieqi form and stats
When playing at home in the First Division, Swieqi have managed 1 win, 4 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 6 games.

Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Swieqi faced defeat in their previous match, away at Zejtun Corinthians (0-3).
Before that result, a home win against Fgura United in the Fa Trophy.
There will be little rest for Swieqi after this match as they are travelling to San Gwann for a First Division game in only three days.
A decent goal production from Swieqi in their home games so far, with 10 goals from 6 league matches. Swieqi have conceded 11 from these games.
Mqabba form and stats
Mqabba have only collected 4 points from their away games in the First Division, after 1-1-4 (6 played). It's a growing despair in Mqabba as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Lija Athletic with 1-2 on the scoreboard.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Melita wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.A new game in only four days for Mqabba, the First Division home match versus Zurrieq. Busy days.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the prior four meetings featuring these two teams are: one win for Swieqi, two draws and one win for Mqabba. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
