Hibernian’s are fighting for survival in the Yo Health Malta Premier with a crucial game against bottom side Mosta tonight.
For Hibs, this has been a season of more downs than ups and with time running out, they find themselves in a battle to stay in the premiership. Only four points separate Hibs from bottom side Mosta and tonight’s encounter could determine which club survives.
A win for Hibs should be enough to ensure they play top flight football next season. A draw would keep them in range for Zabbar St Patricks and Tarxien. A defeat and Mosta would be right back in the mix. For Mosta, failure to get anything from this game would almost spell relegation. A lot is at stake tonight.
Tarxien Rainbows, buoyed by their derby win over Hibs, take on Birkirkara while Zabbar St Patricks face group leaders Sliema Wanderers.
