Hibernians vs Floriana Prediction: The visitors hoping for a stalemate

Monday night promises a storm as hosts Hibernians welcome the Greens in what looks like another attempt to contend for league domination. After a disappointing tie for the visitors in the last outing, they visit the Ta' Qali National Stadium in hopes of reducing the nine-point gap between the two sides, or if possible - snatching the lead. Would the Hibbees honor their wishes, or would this be another disappointment for the visiting side?

Hibernians (3rd)

Starring only one defeat from the last twelve games, host Hibernians roar from the third position as they sit proudly in third place, hoping to unseat second-placed Birkirkara F.C. and eclipse League Champions Hamrun Spartans.

Even though they possess the best away form this season, rivals Floriana fare better on home ground. However, Coach Jack Ross would see his side gallop to victory on Monday after a new contract signing refreshment till 2024.

One thing is clear, the Hibernians come into the game highly motivated and the visitors may see hell trying to wish for almost the impossible - a defeat for the Cabbages.

Floriana (7th)

Last five matches: LDWWW

Losing to the hosts on penalties in the Maltese Cup Campaign, the II Greens may yet suffer another bout of disappointment as they travel to the home grounds in hopes of a contest worthy of the glorified three points.

A recent form review of Gianluca Atzori's side reveals an exhibition of nineteen (19) points in twelve games, their biggest win- the three-nil victory against Gidja United.

Picking only seven points from the last six away games, Floriana may opt for a defensive style of play as they lock horns with the Hibbees who look like wounded lions as both sides contend for the three points at bay.

If the visitors keep an eye on the last line of defense and convert their goal-scoring chances, they may dare to dream of victory; or rather a stalemate to save their face.

Expert Betting Tips

In the last six meetings between both teams, Hibernians have won two times, Floriana recorded just one win, and three matches ended in a tie, with the eventual verdict hanging between BTTS and a goalless draw.

Both sides have a fair share of losses, with an equal share of victory in the last three games.

One thing is certain here, there won't be a clean sheet; however, we are tipping the home team to get all the points for 1.70.

A BTTS will be a good option

Floriana needs to make up for their CAF Champion league letdown to win the league, and three points from this match may be the all-time advantage needed at the end of the season.

Expect goals from the home team in this match.

Good luck!
