Santa Lucia vs Birkirkara FC Prediction: The Stripes Should Dominate The Saints

The BOV League forges towards the twenty-sixth round, with Birkirkara FC and Santa Lucia scuffling for three points in this jaw-dropping episode of Matchday 26. A previous stalemate for the visitors clashes with the confident hosts, who secured a home victory last week. Who will win? Below is a preview of the team’s information, table, h2h, comparisons, and betting tips from our expert, with the league exceeding mid-season but edging to a slow conclusion.

Santa Lucia (11th)

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

The Lucian Saints have taken two losses, two wins, and one stalemate in five recent games. Trying to defy the odds despite going the last two games without victory, Mosta FC held them to a 1-1 stalemate, and the Saints fell to consecutive defeats against Marsaxlokk FC (3-0) and Hamrun Spartans (4-1). Even though Santa Lucia won points against Birkirkara FC the last time, the integrity of their home grounds faces massive compromise in this game as they face a very confident side in Birkirkara, who have consistently scored in the last four meetings between the sides.

Birkirkara F.C (6th)

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

Having rescinded their league charge to be in the sixth league spot, the Stripes of Birkrikara are hopeful for a clear-cut win over the Sirens, who took a surprising victory in the last game between the sides. With the prevalence of stalemates in their recent league exhibitions (2-2 against Sirens and 0-0 against Gzira United), the side continues to push headlong in the league, hoping to return to the league’s top five after slipping off. They currently boast a catalog of two stalemates, two losses, and a victory in five league runs.
