Santa Lucia enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Hamrun Spartans's place. The match ended 1-0. Nobody expected Santa to beat Hamrun Spartans in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. In the match before that, Santa hosted Zejtun Corinthians and drew the game 1-1.

A decent goal production from Santa in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 9 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
