Valletta and Birkirkara will step up their chase of runaway leaders Hibernians when the two big rivals go head to head at the National Stadium on Saturday afternoon (kick-off: 16.00).
After a topsy-turvy start to the season, the Citizens have managed to steady their ship and in recent weeks, they have gone on a run of results that has seen them climb up to second place in the standings, five points adrift of leaders Hibernians.
On the other hand, Birkirkara have enjoyed a brisk start to the campaign, but their form suffered a significant dip in recent weeks which saw them drift six points behind the Paolites.
Saturday’s match will certainly be the perfect opportunity for both sides to stake their claim to earn the status as the main challengers to the Paolites for this season’s title crown.
