Competition: Malta Premier League
Date: Sun 29.September
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Ta'Qali National Stadium (17797 seats)

The Mosta manager M. Miller attacks this game with the team placed 9th so far. In the visitors dressing room Hibernians and their manager S. Sanderra are in 6th place before this match.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Hibernians 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 3-2-1 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.
