Hibernians and Birkirkara will be looking for an early psychological boost in their pursuit of Premier League glory this season as the front-runners in this season’s title race will go head-to-head at the Tony Bezzina Stadium this afternoon (kick-off: 3pm).
At present, there are only three points separating leaders Hibernians from their nearest rivals Birkirkara and although these are still early days in this season’s title race a win for either side will no doubt provide a much-needed tonic for their hopes of silverware this season.
Hibernians have been the most in-form side in the division this season as the Paolites are still unbeaten after seven matches and defender Andrei Agius admitted that a win this afternoon could provide his team a much-needed cushion ahead of more testing times.
“It may seem like a repetitive rhetoric but in a league campaign every match is important as there are always three points at stake,” the veteran defender told the Times of Malta.
