Qormi form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Qormi, who have the fewest points (4) at home in Premier League, have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 9 losses so far from their games here at Hibernians Stadium. Qormi are slowly digging their own grave here at Hibernians Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in eleven attempts. The last victory here came in the Senglea Athletic match.

Happy days for Qormi in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Hibernians that ended with a 3-1 victory. Preceding that match was a defeat to Sliema Wanderers (2-3).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Mosta are coming to town in two days.

The Qormi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 11 in 11 matches. Qormi have conceded 25 goals in these home games, a significant number.
