Last Five Matches: W-L-W-D-D
Recently returned to winning ways, the Spartans of Hamrun are piqued for another expected victory, rejuvenated from the win against Birkirkara F.C. The Spartans showed class against the Hibbees in a vicious contest that threatened to blow over. Hamrun held a comfortable 2-0 lead till the closing embers, where the Hibbees clinched a consolatory goal through a penalty. They fostered their current onslaught with a 7-1 win against Sirens FC FC last week after Sirens FC opened scoring in the game's early minutes. They were held to a 0-0 stalemate against the Wanderers of Sliema before exiting the quarterfinals of the Maltese Cup, where the Stripes won by penalties after a 2-2 game in regular time. Regardless, the odds ahead of this game indicate a probable win for the Spartans, even though Santa Lucia would force goals before full-time.
Santa Lucia (10th)
Recent Form: D-W-L-D-W
The Lucian Saints have taken two wins, one loss, and two stalemates in five recent games. Despite the 3-1 defeat to Santa Lucia, they retaliated in the subsequent 2-1 game against Santa Lucia, inflaming the team’s morale in the FA Cup break game against Marsa FC, which resulted in a 2-0 victory. The Saints are on a mission to defy the odds as they have gone the last two games without a defeat. They pushed the Naxxar Lions to a 1-0 defeat in an unexpected backlash that saw the favorites become underdogs. Last week, they tried their luck against Mosta FC, settling for a 1-1 stalemate. Santa Lucia has a streak of losses against Marsaxlokk, and the preference is vital for a repeat of history; the integrity of their home record may continuously be compromised.
