Birkirkara take on Valletta in Sunday’s big match knowing a win would lift them level with leaders Hamrun.
It has not been an encouraging start for Valletta, just one win in four games. Against a B’ Kara side brimming with confidence, on paper at least it looks ominous for City.
A similar story for Hibernians. They look a pale shadow of the team that clinched the premier title last season. One win and a draw is all they have to show for their efforts so far. Their problem is they leak goals far too easily. Against high flying Balzan today, they will have to tighten up at the back or face another defeat.
It could be another tough afternoon for bottom side Pieta Hotspurs as they face fifth place Gzira Utd.
