It's still early in the Premier League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Sliema Wanderers - Gudja United preview!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Sliema Wanderers form and stats
As mentioned below, Sliema Wanderers are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games.
A good away victory last time out for Wanderers, who won 2-0 against Senglea Athletic (placed 16th). Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Santa Lucia.
S. Comvalius was on the receiving end of a red card in the Wanderers-Senglea Athletic match, being sent off in the 17th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 2-0 victory.
Sliema Wanderers has scored 6 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Gudja United form and stats

A quick return to home after this game, as Gudja United are hosting Floriana in the Premier League only four days away.
