This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Tarxien Rainbows holding 14th place and Balzan lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Tarxien Rainbows form and stats

Three Premier League home games done for Tarxien Rainbows, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. It's trouble wherever Tarxien Rainbows are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. With Tarxien Rainbows having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager J. Borg.

The fans are hoping that Tarxien Rainbows will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Premier League game against Floriana (placed 1st). Ahead of that match, Tarxien Rainbows lost 1-2 at home to Sliema Wanderers.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Floriana) as a comfortable lead 1-0 was completely ruined into a loss 1-2.

The Tarxien Rainbows fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Tarxien Rainbows have allowed the opposition to score 9 goals here at Hibernians Ground. Tarxien Rainbows have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
