Naxxar Lions vs Hamrun Spartans Prediction: Goals Would Abound In This Clash

The Spartans of Hamrun would face Naxxar Lions next in the league ahead of the sixth round of the BOV League, with stalemates being last week’s verdict. Although Hamrun has been the better side in the previous two direct meetings, Naxxar Lions would be determined to put up a wall, and defy the odds.

Recent Form: L-W-L-L-D

Naxxar Lions have accrued four points in five league games, with three losses and one stalemate. Last week against Zabbar St Patrick, the team stretched to a 3-3 scoreline, scoring in the 93rd minute to revive themselves with a point.

Naxxar’s Lions home form in three games produced two losses and one win. The odds indicate possible defeat for the hosts who have been the better squad in recent times.

Last Five Matches: W-D-W-L-D

Hamrun Spartans have been slow in their tracks, with two wins, two stalemates and one loss in the first five league games of the season. Their surprising loss to Mosta FC was salted by the 1-1 stalemate against Balzan Youths last week.

Yet to seal their first win away from home, the fans are eager for the team to get the first three points on foreign turf, despite their unbeaten home form.

Hamrun’s 3-4-1-2 formation seems not to have sunk in, as the team still struggles with overall coordination.

Two recent meetings between the sides produced two wins for Hamrun Spartans. While two games produced over 2.5 goals, a BTTS has occurred once.

The Hamrun Spartans would be considered too much of a force for Naxxar Lions, who have been decent in recent games, irrespective of the eventual outcome.
