Week 6 features a match on Saturday Oct 8th, where Valletta will host Hamrun Spartans in a clash of these two mismatched Premier League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Valletta is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Birkirkara. Flavio Carioca struck first for Birkirkara on an own goal in the 29th minute, then Enzo Cabrera added another in the 73rd minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Valletta couldn’t manage to score, and Birkirkara took the shutout win. Valletta looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Hamrun Spartans recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Floriana. Matthew Guillaumier scored the first goal for Hamrun Spartans in the 3rd minute, then Elvis Mashike Sukisa added another in the 76th minute In the end, Floriana was frustrated by Hamrun Spartans’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Hamrun Spartans ended the match with the shutout victory. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Hamrun Spartans should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Hamrun Spartans is fortunate enough to have Elvis Mashike Sukisa in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals. Shaun Dimech has been the most effective weapon for Valletta lately. The midfielder has netted 2 goals in his last five matches.
