Vittoriosa Stars are welcoming Pietà Hotspurs for another important game after their 0-5 result against 1st-placed Lija Athletic.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Fa Trophy game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Balzan. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
