- Hibernians has the most scored goals in the second half (24) in Premier League
- Hibernians have scored more than double the goals of Tarxien Rainbows.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Gudja United, so at least Hibernians are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
6-4-15 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Tarxien Rainbows when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 25 matches are 29-52 (scored/conceded).
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Hibernians form and stats
Hibernians have collected 17 points from their Premier League home games so far after 5-2-2. Hibernians are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
Hibernians enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Gudja United's place. The match ended 4-1. 1-1 away at Floriana before that.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (21 in 9 games), Hibernians's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Hibernians have conceded 9 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Tarxien Rainbows form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tarxien Rainbows so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose).
Rainbows's previous game was their home loss versus Gzira United (0-2). Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Balzan.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tarxien Rainbows manager W. Muscat as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Lija Athletic.
The visiting Rainbows have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 8 games. Rainbows struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games.
