The game that will close Matchday 5 of the YoHealth Malta Premier will see Birkirkara take on Mosta at 19:15 at the National Stadium.
The Stripes, now under the guidance of Italian coach Gianluca Festa, managed to earn a point in midweek despite playing with 10 men for over an hour. They came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Sliema Wanderers. However, their start to the season remains disappointing and below expectations. They are still without a win and sit 9th in the table with only 3 points from four matches.
For this fixture, they will be without defender Kurt Zammit, who was sent off with a straight red card in the last match.
Mosta also earned a point in midweek, holding league leaders Hibernians to a 2-2 draw after coming from behind twice. They currently sit one point above Birkirkara, with 4 points.
The last time these two sides met last season, Birkirkara came out on top with a narrow 1-0 victory.
