Rainbows faced defeat in their previous match, away at Lija Athletic (0-2). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Hibernians.
There will be little rest for Rainbows after this match as they are travelling to Qormi for a Fa Trophy game in only four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Rainbows here at Ta'Qali National Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 8 games). It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Rainbows have conceded 16 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Sirens form and stats
The visitors are W5-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Momentum is building for Sirens in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
