Marsaxlokk vs Sliema Wanderers: match statistics
Marsaxlokk looks decidedly better as the host, achieving an impressive 63% win rate in home matches and 38% clean sheets. The hosts are in good form with 2.0 points per game in the last five meetings and a series of two consecutive victories. Sliema Wanderers has serious problems in away matches, where they have lost 43% of games and have not recorded a single clean sheet (0% CS%), conceding an average of 1.57 goals per match. The visitors' form is worrying – only 0.8 points per game in the last five matches and a series of three losses in their last five away games. Although the differences in xG and possession are minimal, Marsaxlokk's home advantage and Sliema's poor disposition away speak for a home victory, though a draw also comes into play due to the similar offensive capabilities of both teams.
