Competition: Malta Premier League
Date: Fri 30.August
Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: MFA Centenary Stadium (2000 seats)

The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Mosta find themselves in 6th position and Sirens are placed 3rd.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Mosta and Sirens.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Mosta form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Premier League game of the season here at MFA Centenary Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 3 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses from Mosta's 13 home games. Mosta are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at MFA Centenary Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.

The Mosta fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at MFA Centenary Stadium: A 3-4 defeat against Sirens. In the game before, an away victory match versus Tarxien Rainbows with a 4-0 scoreline.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Mosta's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won 0 matches, drawn 0 and lost 1.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Mosta at home in the league. 3 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Sirens form and stats

Only one away game in the Premier League so far for Sirens and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 8 victories, 3 draws and 2 losses from 13 travels.

Two travels in a row for Sirens, whose manager A. Marinov could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Mosta. A draw for Sirens before that, at their own venue hosting Senglea Athletic (1-1).

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Sirens playing away, we found one game. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 0 home wins.

4 goals so far away for Sirens, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Mosta - Sirens 3-4 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last one meeting: 0 - 0 - 1 (Mosta wins - draws - Sirens wins). As for goals, 1 match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 0 had two or less.
