Week 11 features a match on Saturday Nov 12th, where Santa Lucia plays host to Valletta in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Santa Lucia recorded a 0-1 loss against Floriana. Oualid El Hasni scored the first goal for Floriana in the 83rd minute on a penalty, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Floriana couldn’t manage to score, and Santa Lucia took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while 10th placed Valletta is fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against Zebbug Rangers. Ulrich N’Nomo scored the first goal for Valletta in the 67th minute, then Kilian Bevis added another in the 74th minute In the end, Zebbug Rangers couldn’t muster any offence and Valletta ran away with the shutout win. Valletta is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Valletta won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Both Sala and Oke Akpoveta have been the hottest scorers for Valletta in the last five each having scored 2 goals each. Santa Lucia is glad to have Francisco Eliomar Rodrigues Farias in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals.
