San Giljan are undefeated after dominant performances against Birzebbugia and Marsascala. Exiles, however, have had a rough start, losing to Sirens and Neptunes. San Giljan’s strong form makes them favorites to extend their winning streak, but Exiles will look to improve
their offensive output.

Sliema have been the most dominant team so far, boasting huge wins against Marsascala and Birzebbugia. Valletta, after narrowly losing to Neptunes, bounced back with a solid victory over Sirens. This clash could be closer than expected, with Sliema’s firepower up against
Valletta’s resilience.
