Floriana return to Tony Bezzina Stadium on Sunday afternoon looking to extend their strong league form when they face Mosta in another key YoHealth Malta Premier League fixture.
The Greens enjoyed an impressive Opening Round, collecting 33 points from 15 matches, with 10 wins, three draws, and just two defeats, firmly establishing themselves among the title contenders. They also began the Closing Round positively with a victory over Naxxar and recently booked progress in the FA Trophy with a win over Marsaxlokk.
Floriana have scored 26 league goals this season, with Jake Grech leading the scoring charts on seven goals, closely followed by Mustapha Jah on six. Creativity has also been a major strength, with Federico Varela topping the assist rankings with five, while Grech continues to stand out as one of the club’s most influential performers, earning five MVP awards so far this campaign.
Mosta, meanwhile, come into the match after a challenging Opening Round that saw them collect 16 points, recording four wins, four draws, and eight losses. Despite their struggles, they began the Closing Round with a win over Żabbar and will be aiming to build on that momentum as they fight to climb the table.
Prince Chibuzor Emmanuel has been Mosta’s standout attacking threat, scoring seven league goals, while Leonardo Fernandes and Joaquim Da Silva have also contributed with goals and assists. However, the Blues face a tough task against a Floriana side that has historically dominated this fixture.
The head to head record strongly favours Floriana. The Greens won 1–0 in their previous league meeting this season, and have claimed seven wins in the last ten league encounters between the two sides. Notably, Floriana have scored in every one of their 44 league meetings with Mosta, underlining their attacking consistency in this matchup.
On the sidelines, Daniel Portela continues to impress in his spell with Floriana, boasting an average of 2.1 points per match, while Mosta coach Joe Grech will be seeking to improve his record against the Greens, having won just once in his last 13 meetings with the club.
With Floriana chasing the top spots and Mosta eager to prove their resilience in the Closing Round, Sunday’s clash promises an intriguing tactical and competitive battle.
