Zurrieq form and stats

When playing at home in the First Division, Zurrieq have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games. After failing to beat Attard here at Victor Tedesco Stadium, Zurrieq has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Zurrieq lost their last game at Mqabba (placed 15th) after a 0-1 scoreline. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after collecting points in three league games.

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Zejtun Corinthians.

Some goal stats: A review of the 14 most recent league games highlights that 11 of them had goals from both sides.

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Melita in only three days.

A decent goal production from Zurrieq in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 7 league matches. 10 goals have been conceded.

San Gwann form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for San Gwann so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose).

Gwann's previous game was their home loss versus Swieqi (2-4). A crazy, crazy fixture with an abundance of goals last time out for San Gwann, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fun game, will this match be as enjoying?

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Lija Athletic.

Gwann have conceded 15 goals in these games.
