Hibernians vs Gzira United: match statistics
Hibernians present solid home form with 44% wins and only 22% losses on their own turf, averaging 2 goals per match. The hosts remain unbeaten in their last 5 matches (2 wins, 3 draws) and boast a positive goal difference of +4 at home. Despite an impressive overall streak of 5 consecutive victories, Gzira United performs significantly worse away—recording only 11% wins, failing to score in 56% of matches, and holding a negative balance of -7. The visitors' away form (lddldllwd) is concerning with 44% losses, and an average of just 1 goal per away match against 1.78 conceded suggests offensive difficulties.
