Marsaxlokk vs Floriana tips and predictions

Floriana too short for this trip

You've probably read previews by analysts raving about the visitors but that short price fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down

The hosts are going into the match having added 9 wins to their ledger in their last 20 games.

Marsaxlokk will need to extract confidence from somewhere. This home team is in a bit of a purple patch. They have scored three or more goals in 5 of their recent 14 home matches and their defenders have been cleaning things up. They have only conceded an average of 0.7 goals across their last 15 games.

There have been episodes when Floriana haven't had the fundamentals near their 18-yard line. They have conceded three or more goals in 0 of their last 3 matches. And the home side will be looking for evidence that they won't be facing huge potency. At times the visitors have been stuttering in front of goal. They've been goalless in 5 of their last 20 away matches.

To be fair, it might be a turn-up for the books just to see the sides end up in deadlock. Floriana are the favourites and they'll be eager to keep things tight at the back. The No BTTS bet seems sensible enough.
