After a three-week halt due to National Teams’ commitments, the BOV Premier League gears up for Match Day 8 with an enticing fixture set to take place tomorrow at the Ta’ Qali National Stadium. Hamrun Spartans, the reigning champions, will face Marsaxlokk in what promises to be a compelling encounter.
Champions Hamrun Spartans head into this match unaffected by recent appeal decisions that favored Joseph Mbong, enabling him to avoid a three-game suspension. The Maltese international winger had initially received the suspension from the Malta FA Disciplinary Commissioner earlier this month following his red card in the 1-1 draw against Mosta.
Hamrun Spartans will confront Marsaxlokk, a team that has emerged as one of the revelation sides in the league. In their last match before the break, Marsaxlokk secured a significant victory against Birkirkara, with Yuri Messias delivering a vintage display by scoring two crucial goals.
The Southseasiders will be eager to avenge their defeats from last year when they were beaten twice by Hamrun Spartans.
