Premier leaders Hibernians face Valletta today in what is seen as a crucial match for both sides.
A run of draws has seen Hibs lead whittled down to just four points above Floriana who meet Mosta today.
They are expected to have several key players back suspension, notably Jake Grech, Thaylor Aldama and Gabriel Izquier Artiles.
Last week Hib’s earned a narrow 1-0 win against Sliema Wanderers and mid-week saw off Nadur Youngsters in the FA Trophy. Coach Stefano Sandero will demand total comittment and three points from today’s game.
Valletta have had a disappointing season so far.
Seventh in the league, only six wins and a massive sixteen points behind Hibernians. Last week they were beaten by Sirens. They will be fired up for today’s encounter. The question is, are they capable of turning their season around?
