Time: 24.02.2024. 16:00
The Hibbees sojourn to the Ta ‘Qali National Stadium to claim all three points ahead of Round 18’s brawl against Balzan FC in this epic beatdown. The similarity of morale between these sides is a cause for concern as the two sides shared spoils against their respective opponents on the previous matchday. Although the Hibbees have better current standings than the hosts, Balzan FC has dominated the last three direct clashes between the sides, as five recent games between the sides reveal three wins for Balzan FC and two for The Greens.

Recent Form: D-L-D-L-D
Last week, The Youths of Balzan FC fostered their ricochet of draw losses in the impressive stalemate incurred against Floriana. The most resounding highlight in recent times is the 7-1 home humiliation against Hamrun Spartans - in a game that saw them score the first goal. They went to secure an away 1-1 stalemate against Gzira United, giving the fans some hope - only for the Wanderers of Sliema to return them to losses in the 1-0 tight contest last week. Balzan’s loss to Santa Lucia was disappointing as the side was not promised a victory against Floriana, who were forced to a 2-2 stalemate last week despite heavy criticism.
Hibernians (6th)
Last Five Matches: D-L-W-W-L
The Hibbees stay afloat in the league with a reasonably above-average performance, steering two wins, two stalemates, and one loss in five recent games. Cruising past Qala St.Joepsh in the Malta FA Trophy entry game, they returned to the league to face league leaders Hamrun Spartans, where a goal was inadequate to secure victory in the 2-1 defeat. They, however, fired on, taking two forceful victories against Gzira United (3-2) and Santa Lucia (2-0) in the subsequent games that followed. They were coerced to a 1-0 beatdown in the Malta FA Cup trophy game. They fell to the ravaging hands of Floriana F.C in the 2-0 defeat before the side tied it out against the Birkirkara Stripes. Against Balzan F.C., they face a determined foe hungry to claim better standings. The odds indicate that the tides of this game are slightly for them, and as such, the Greens are sure to put on a show.
