Gudja United (14th)

Last Five Matches: L-L-L-L-L

Gudja United has not had a victory in five recent league games, with five decadent losses recorded on the road. Currently seated at the bottom of the table, the FA Cup 3-0 win over Xewkija Tigers was a breath of air, having recently drowned in defeat. Regardless, they returned to the domestic league to face a three-nil defeat against Valletta. The last time the sides clashed, they were held by Santa Lucia to a goalless stalemate. The postulated odds ahead of this game indicate a possible stalemate for the side despite the ample probability of another defeat. Last week, they were hammered by Gzira United in a 3-0 brawl and currently hold the reputation of the league’s most porous defense. They are yet to claim a win against the Spartans, and the tides are unfortunate for the side against the visitors, who are unbeaten in three games.

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

The Lucian Saints have taken three wins and two losses in five recent games. Despite the 3-1 defeat to Hamrun Spartans, they retaliated in the subsequent 2-1 game against Santa Lucia, inflaming the team’s morale in the FA Cup break game against Marsa FC, which resulted in a 2-0 victory. The Saints are on a mission to defy the odds as they have gone the last two games without a defeat.
