Vittoriosa Stars hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 19 points and a 12th position in the First Division table. Visiting Fgura United holds 9th place with 22 pts.
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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on sand pitch and that the visiting Fgura United have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on sand pitch is 2-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.
