  • Birkirkara have the fewest conceded goals (4) in Premier League

Both squads have had time to rest since their previous game. Let's agree to expect an enthusiastic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical 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 artifical turf is 5-4-3 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.
