It's match week two of the Premier League season and everything to play for. Read our detailed preview of Birkirkara-Hamrun Spartans!

Birkirkara and Hamrun Spartans 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 grass and that the visiting Hamrun Spartans have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 18-8-8 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
