Mosta vs Sliema Wanderers: match statistics
Sliema Wanderers are in significantly better form than Mosta this season. The hosts have won only 11% of their home matches and have a terrible goal difference (-5), conceding an average of 2.11 goals per game in front of their own fans. Mosta's form is catastrophic - just one win in their last five matches and a mere 0.6 points per game. Sliema Wanderers show decidedly better away statistics: 38% of away matches won, a better average xG (1.11 to 1.11, but with a lower xGA of 1.00 vs 1.28), and an advantage in possession (53% to 48%). Although the visitors are also going through a poorer spell (0.8 PPG in their last five matches), their overall quality and defensive stability (conceding 1.5 goals per away match) give them a clear advantage. Considering the weakness of the hosts and the relative strength of the visitors, a Sliema Wanderers victory is the most likely scenario, although a draw is also in play due to the average form of both teams.
