Hibernians vs Gzira United Prediction: Few Goals Expected From This Game

Two sides spinning off victories in the first matchday clash antlers ahead of the second match week. The ball has been set rolling (literally), and we expect a challenging game in this fixture, as is the case with the two sides who hijacked victories from each other in the two most recent games. The most recent meeting was in the Club Friendlies, with Gzira edging over with a one-goal lead.

Recent Form: W

The Hibernians made a decent exhibition in the Club Friendlies, beating Mosta FC 2-0 and losing to Gzira United. Against the roaring Lions of Naxxar, the 3-4-3 flaunted showed deficits along the flanks, which saw their defence lines threatened through most of the game. An excellent recommendation would be for the midfielders to drawback and allow the strikers to do their jobs instead of choking the opposition’s box, leaving them vulnerable for either a counterattack or in a position to commit card-worthy offences.

Recent Form: W

Gzira United cruised through four games in the Club Friendlies to secure three stalemates and one victory. They were successful in the opening 1-0 game against Marsaxlokk, which almost ended in a stalemate- save the 89th-minute decider - courtesy of super sub Lecao, who joined rhe game in the 63rd minute after Riascos’ substitution. Gzira fields a 4-2-3-1 formation, doubling the strike force with the attacking midfielders while maintaining composure in defences and flanks.
