Competition: Malta Premier League

Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: MFA Centenary Stadium (2000 seats)

It's early days in the Premier League and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Birkirkara have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-0-5 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.
