The Senglea Athletic manager M. Muscat attacks this game with the team placed 2nd so far. In the visitors dressing room Birkirkara and their manager J. Buttigieg are in 13th place before this match.

It's no vacation for neither Senglea Athletic nor Birkirkara as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Birkirkara 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 3-0-5 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches. This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.

Birkirkara form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Premier League ended in defeat. Last season Birkirkara had these away match statistics: Played 13; won 6, drew 2 and lost 5. Three has not been a lucky number for Birkirkara as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Mosta match.
