Hibernians go into today’s clash with Birkirkara needing just one point to clinch the BOV Premier title after their only contenders Floriana were held to a goal-less draw by Hamrun Spartans on Saturday.
Hibs and Floriania have been going head-to-head all season and now, with the finish line in sight, Hibs have their finger tips on the premier trophy but still need that one point to clinch the title.
Today’s match against B’Kara may well settle the matter. A draw will confirm Hibs as champions. With one game remaining and four points ahead, they could not be overtaken.
But that one point will not be easy to attain. B’Kara are a strong side and Hibs cannot afford any slip-ups.
Whatever the outcome, this has been one of the closest title races in years.
