Mosta form and stats

Mosta's results here at Hibernians Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

Mosta enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Balzan's place. The match ended 3-2 with Failla, Riascos and Donkin scoring.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Hibernians.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Mosta as they have a new game in only three days, a Fa Trophy match thankfully also at home. Luqa are visiting.

Mosta are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games.

Santa Lucia form and stats

There's been little loot from Santa Lucia's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Premier League. Santa Lucia only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 4 draws.

Santa Lucia played 0-0 against Hibernians in their previous match.

A 1-2 defeat away at Sirens before that.

We have checked recent matches where Santa have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were one victory, one draw and two defeats.

Santa Lucia are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 11 times in 7 away games so far. The Santa Lucia manager Tedesco has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
