Competition: Malta First Division
Date: Sun 13.October
Match begins: 16:30 (UTC)

The First Division league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 7th and 3rd respectively.

Zebbug Rangers and St. Andrews should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on sand pitch and that the visiting St. Andrews 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 6-7-19 (win-draw-loss) from 32 matches.
