Tarxien Rainbows form and stats
Tarxien Rainbows have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With Rainbows having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager D. Scerri.
A strong away win for Tarxien Rainbows against Senglea Athletic the last match, as V. Plut and Vanger (2) were on target.
As mentioned above, Rainbows "killed" Senglea Athletic in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Rainbows have scored 0 goals here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Rainbows have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Gudja United form and stats
The seven points Gudja United have gathered from their first three away trips in the Premier League is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Gudja love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Floriana with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game was the away victory against Sliema Wanderers with the score of 2-1.
The travelling fans enjoy Gudja United's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. 3 goals have been conceded by Gudja in these games.
