Mosta form and stats

Mosta, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Premier League, have collected 4 points from their Premier League home games so far after 1-1-2.

Mosta are returning here after visiting Sliema Wanderers in a Premier League game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. G. Sciberras, L. Riascos and Will Donkin scored the goal(s). T. Farrugia was on the receiving end of a red card in the Mosta-Sliema Wanderers match, being sent off in the 71st minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 3-2 victory. Manager J. Grech felt very clever after G. Sciberras scored the winning goal against Sliema Wanderers, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 76th minute.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Floriana that ended 1-1.

Mosta are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.

A loss against Balzan was the result prior to that, in a home game.
