Zejtun Corinthians and Lija Athletic are eager to display their new players and skills: It's the first match of the First Division season.
Zejtun Corinthians form and stats
Disaster struck Zejtun Corinthians last season as they could not defend their status as a Premier League team. With 11 defeats from 23 games, and only 6 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Corinthians are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W3 D3 L5.
With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Zejtun Corinthians friendly games in pre-season: Corinthians played three friendlies, won 0, drew 1 and lost 2. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Zejtun Corinthians scored 5 goals and conceded 8 in these three games.
Lija Athletic form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Lija Athletic as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 5 victories from 23 games, relegation was a fact. Lija's manager J. Galea are hoping to lead the team right back to Premier League at the first attempt.
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the preceeding ten meetings featuring these two participants are: five wins for Zejtun Corinthians, one draw and four wins for Lija Athletic. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Zejtun Corinthians missing players
