Santa Lucia vs Hibernians Prediction: The Saints Face An Arduous Task

The Green Hibbees butt horns against Santa Lucia as the struggle for victory in the league rankings continue on Matchday 14. The Hibbees have triumphed over the Saints three times in five recent games, leaving two stalemates. The odds ahead of this clash indicate a possible repeat victory for the away side, which embarrassed Santa Lucia to a 3-2 scoreline in the last two clashes between the sides.

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

The Lucian Saints have taken two wins and three 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, who had their two-game winning streak truncated by the defeat to Floriana, are faced with the arduous task of betaing a side they have fallen twice to recently. However, Hibernians threaten the Saints, who have not claimed victory in the last five direct clashes.

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

The Green Hibbees have dropped points in recent clashes against Mosta, Marsaxlokk and Hamrun Spartans. They took a 0-0 stalemate against Mosta FC, efore the 2-0 win over junior side Qala Saint Joseph in the FA Cup Trophy, only to return to a 2-1 defeat in a twisted game against Hamrun Spartans, contenders of the league’s top spot. They celebrated wildly after returning to winning ways against Gzira United in the 3-2 game last week. The odds suggest a winning brace against Santa Lucia, who suffers from gross inconsistency.
