This match is expected to be in favor of the Spartans, despite both teams having played decently in the Quarterfinals of the Malta Cup.

Last Five Matches: L-W-D-D-W

The Spartans of Hamrun are on a winning streak, having remained unbeaten in their last five games. They are determined to continue their winning run and secure another victory against Birkirkara F.C. The team displayed their impressive skills in a recent match against the Hibbees, winning by a comfortable 2-1 margin, with the opposition scoring a consolatory goal through a penalty in the closing stages of the game. Hamrun's recent 7-1 win against Sirens FC FC, after conceding an early goal, further strengthened their confidence.

Despite Birkirkara F.C.'s potential to score, the odds suggest that the Spartans are likely to secure a win in the upcoming match. However, the game is expected to be a tough one, with Birkirkara F.C. putting up a strong fight until the final whistle.
