Valletta FC will be looking to maintain their winning momentum when they take on Mosta FC in the Malta Premier League, following their recent victory over Sliema Wanderers.

The league leaders will be keen to collect another three points as they continue their push at the top of the standings. However, Mosta will be encouraged by their latest result after earning a point against reigning champions Floriana in a dramatic finish. The match also saw Mosta introduce a number of young players, who were given an opportunity to make their mark at the highest level.

Despite Mosta’s fighting spirit, Valletta will go into the encounter with a historical advantage. In their previous 38 head-to-head meetings, Mosta have suffered 25 defeats against the Citizens, highlighting the challenge facing them in this fixture.

The statistics also suggest that supporters could be in for an entertaining contest. Over 2.5 goals were scored in 70 per cent of the last 10 meetings between the two sides, while four of Valletta’s last six league matches have also produced more than two goals.

Valletta will therefore start as favourites, with the prediction giving them a 58 per cent probability of securing victory. Nevertheless, Mosta will hope to build on their positive result against Floriana and provide another stern test for the league leaders.
