The Green Hibbees butt horns against Santa Lucia as the struggle for victory in the league rankings continue on Matchday 14.

Santa Lucia (12th)

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.

Hibernians (8th)

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.
