Leaders Gżira United face a tough test on match day 10 of the VMFA Cisk Premier League as they meet champions MFPA. The Maroons are coming from a very positive patch as they saw off Birkirkara St Helen’s 8-6 in a very entertaining encounter. They are the most consistent team till now and their summit in the table is no coincidence.

On their part, MFPA have gained ground after a negative start as they have won precious points that put them only five points from their opponents.

In the first round, Gżira won 8-5.

Birkirkara hope to return to winning ways as they meet Hibernians. The latter are improving as they had a really positive outing against Żejtun Red Stars which they won 4-2. Players such as Adrian Lanzon, Glenn Bonello, Jeffrey Chetcuti and Alan Tabone are leaving a positive impact on their team.

Birkirkara will be ready to grab the points that matter as they hope to repeat the first round performance which they won 6-3 against the same Paolites.

Żurrieq Wolves are high in morale as they managed to break their duck last week after a 5-3 victory over Luxol. Their opponents will be Żejtun Red Stars who on the other hand, are finding it hard to play their typical game. There is no clear favourite for this match which seems will be a balanced one.

In the first round, Żejtun saw off Żurrieq 6-4.

In the duel between two teams who lately have disappointed, Luxol take on Rabat Veterans. Both clubs are on the 10-point mark in the table. Their recent results weren’t that good as Luxol had to succumb to a 5-3 defeat against Żurrieq while Rabat had no answer to MFPA’s attack as they had to come up with an 8-1 defeat.

In the first round, Rabat Veterans beat Luxol 5-4
