Marsa form and stats

The loot brought home from travels has not been plentiful for Marsa as they have only collected 1 point from their 9 away games. Marsa only has 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. Marsa are desperate to end a 15-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Gharghur fixture. Bitter travels for Marsa as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Gudja United.

Marsa failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Swieqi (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 0-5. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Vittoriosa Stars wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

After this away game Marsa are travelling again fairly soon, but not to a normal away game. The First Division match versus Lija Athletic is played at a neutral venue in only three days.

The attacking power of Marsa when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored in 9 matches. Marsa can't defend away. 28 goals have been scored by the opposition in 9 matches, an average of more than three per game.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Marsa - Zebbug Rangers 0-0. Last five meetings between the teams: Zebbug Rangers won 2, Marsa won 2 and 1 draw.
