Matchday 9 of the 360 Sports Malta Premier promises to be an exciting round of fixtures, kicking off today with two key matches at the Tony Bezzina Stadium.
Today’s Matches:
Hibernians vs. Melita
Kick-off: 18:00 – Tony Bezzina Stadium
Hibernians are eager to bounce back after a disappointing 1-0 loss to Mosta, ending their two-match winning streak. With 14 points, they currently sit fourth in the table and will be looking to regain their form against a Melita side that recently managed a 2-0 victory over Balzan. Melita, with 9 points, is keen to build on their last performance and climb further up the table.
Sliema Wanderers vs. Hamrun Spartans
Kick-off: 20:30 – Tony Bezzina Stadium
In the evening’s marquee match, Sliema Wanderers, fresh off a 2-0 win against Zabbar, will take on the struggling reigning champions, Hamrun Spartans. Hamrun has faced back-to-back defeats, including a 3-1 loss to Birkirkara, and coach Alessandro Zinnari is under pressure to turn things around. With Sliema currently in third place on 15 points, this match is crucial for both teams’ aspirations.

- Floriana vs. Balzan (15:00) – Tony Bezzina Stadium
Floriana remains unbeaten and will aim to continue that streak after a recent draw against Marsaxlokk. Balzan looks like they’re experiencing the same disappointment as last season, where they are 9th with just 8 points. - Gzira United vs. Birkirkara (17:30) – Tony Bezzina Stadium
Birkirkara are on fire with a 7-match winning streak and will be looking to extend their lead at the top. Gzira on the other hand failed to win in their last 4 matches with 2 draws and two losses.
Sunday, 27th October
- Naxxar Lions vs. Marsaxlokk (16:00) – Victor Tedesco Stadium
Naxxar Lions are having a tough season, collecting only 6 points from 8 matches, just 2 points above bottom-placed Zabbar. They face a resurgent Marsaxlokk, who, since their coaching change, are unbeaten with two wins and an important draw against Floriana last time out. - Mosta vs. Zabbar St. Patrick (18:30) – Victor Tedesco Stadium
Zabbar are desperately seeking points to escape the bottom of the table, where they currently sit with just 4 points while Mosta’s win against Hibernians should boost them to grab another 3 points from this fixture.
