It's still early in the First Division season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Zebbug Rangers - Pietà Hotspurs preview!

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on sand pitch and that the visiting Pietà Hotspurs have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on sand pitch is 6-2-12 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.

Pietà Hotspurs form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first First Division away game of the season. During their previous season 13 away games resulted in 1 win, 2 draws and 10 defeats. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Pietà Hotspurs have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Floriana game.

The manager R. Zammit was unhappy after their last game, a First Division match played at their home ground MFA Centenary Stadium. Pietà Hotspurs suffered a 0-3 loss to Lija Athletic (placed 1st). A 1-1 draw at Naxxar Lions's stadium before that.

Pietà Hotspurs have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
