The Maltese BOV League faceoff resumes with The Stripes of Birkirkara pinning down their tents against the Spartans of Hamrun as the twelfth league event goes underway. Hamrun halves the total point of the host and and would struggle for dominance, something they have not been privileged of in quite some time.

• Whenever the Stripes play against Hamrun, the explosion is undeniable, and for this game, I strongly suggest that a BTTS will play out, seeing the level of play from both teams in recent times. Betway suggests this at 1.73 odds.
• The Stripes have shown colours in their most recent pitch exhibitions. A straight win for the team is my second prediction for this game, which I think would go in favour of the hosts. Bet with 1xbet at 2.79 odds.
• The two sides will score, and goals will not be a problem for this fixture. I will pick the O2.5 goal option with Bet365 at 2.00 odds as my final wager.
