BOV Premier: The Big Game. Hibs v Floriana

The top two in the Premiership go head-to-head today in what could be a title decider.

Hibernians are two points clear of Floriana and the permutations remain the same as last week. A win would almost put the title out of reach of Floriana, a draw would leave both sides with a chance to be crowned champions and a win for Floriana would put them in pole position and throw the title race wide open.

Both sides lost last weekend, Hibs beaten 2-1 by Hamrun Spartans while Floriana lost 1-0 to Gziria.

Last time these two sides met, Hibernians romped to a 4-1 win. It is unlikely that Floriana will let that happen again today.a

Whatever the outcome, this promises to be a tactical game. Hibs, with a two point advantage, do not need to chase the game and can work to protect that advantage.

Floriana have no choice but to attack. That could leave them open at the back and vulnerable to counter-attack.

Both coaches will have their work cut out today. But which one will be the happier at the end of the day?.
