The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Valletta are in the 7th position while the guesting Sirens worry at 13th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Valletta and Sirens.
Valletta form and stats
Valletta must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Premier League games here at MFA Centenary Stadium.
Valletta shared the glory with Gudja United in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Before that, Valletta had a home game versus Senglea Athletic which ended with a victory 2-1.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Valletta's attacking play is working. Valletta are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
Sirens form and stats
Things could have gone better for Sirens in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
Sirens might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Zejtun Corinthians proved too strong as Sirens slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Sirens Stadium. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Lija Athletic.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Zejtun Corinthians was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Sirens has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Hibernians in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The travelling fans enjoy Sirens's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. Sirens are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 5 goals in these matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: one win for Valletta, one draw and zero wins for Sirens. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
