With their 7 point advantage in the league table, Zebbug Rangers fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Fgura United.

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.

This pitch has sand pitch, which is not Fgura United's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on sand pitch Fgura United have performed like this: Played six matches resulting in 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats with the goal stats 7-12 (scored/conceded).

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
