This could be an interesting match as Gudja United have their presumed home advantage while Sliema Wanderers are ahead 11 points in the Premier League table.
- Gudja United has the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Premier League
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Gudja and Sliema Wanderers.
Gudja United form and stats
Gudja United's results here at MFA Centenary Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Hamrun Spartans (1-3).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Gudja United as they have a new game in only three days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Mosta are visiting.
Gudja are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 9 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Sliema Wanderers form and stats
Sliema Wanderers's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Sliema Wanderers collect 20 points from their 10 away matches in the Premier League. 6 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Senglea Athletic in the Premier League.
Wanderers were so close to getting something from the game against St. Andrews, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Wanderers have scored 14 goals in 10 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Wanderers as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
