Week 16 features a match on Sun Jan 22nd, where Marsaxlokk plays host to Gzira United in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a windy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Marsaxlokk recorded a 1-2 loss against Mosta. Brincat struck first for Mosta in the 20th minute, then Ayrton Attard tied it up for Marsaxlokk in the 39th minute. Marsaxlokk looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while gzira United sits at 2nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Gudja United. Scerri struck first for Gzira United in the 53rd minute, then Tatsuro tied it up for Gudja United in the 79th minute earning Gudja United at least a draw. Gzira United should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on Sep 4th, Gzira United and Marsaxlokk battled to a 0-0 draw. Neither Gzira United nor Marsaxlokk could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 5 and 6 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,.
Maxuell has been the most effective weapon for Gzira United lately. The Brazilian attacker has netted 3 goals in his last 5 matches. Oscar Carniello and Kristian Keqi are the top scorers for Marsaxlokk in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
