There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the First Division table so far. Here's the Swieqi - Pembroke Athleta latest:
Swieqi and Pembroke Athleta should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Swieqi form and stats
Swieqi's struggle is real here with only 6 points collected from 8 First Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-4. Two draws in a row at home now for Swieqi.
The fans are hoping that Swieqi will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the First Division game against Qrendi (placed 3rd). In the match before that, Swieqi hosted Qormi and drew the game 1-1.
The Swieqi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Swieqi defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Pembroke Athleta form and stats
The visitors are W4-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the First Division.
Pembroke Athleta failed to get anything from their last game, a First Division home match vs Zejtun Corinthians (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 2-4. Before that one, a nice away victory 4-1 at Fgura United.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Pembroke Athleta, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
