The season is still fairly new and the First Division table has to be read with caution. So far Zebbug Rangers find themselves in 13th position and Qrendi are placed 8th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on sand pitch and that the visiting Qrendi 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 2-2-5 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
