Birkirkara to face Sliema Wanderers
by Ayrton Galea - 3rd November 2014
Birkirkara FC's Premier League campaign has been characterised by the lack of consistency, but this evening the Stripes will be seeking to regain their winning touch when they face the difficult task in form of Sliema Wanderers FC.
Having been involved in a Premier League campaign full of ‘hot and cold' performances, Birkirkara have so far marred their progress with three defeats in nine matches. The Stripes so far registered unexpected defeats against Balzan FC and Tarxien Rainbows FC while suffering their third defeat last Sunday, against leaders Hibernians. On the other hand, victories against the likes of Mosta FC and Valletta FC have shown the true quality of the team when in form.
The Stripes task of getting the three points is certainly not an easy one as their opponents, Sliema Wanderers have finally found their feet following a highly disappointing start. With just three points from the first five matches, many thought that predictions about the Blues being a strong outfit were wrong. However they have been improving their game, being unbeaten in the last four matches, having won three matches, followed by a goal-less draw against Balzan FC in their last match.
Matheus Bissi suffered an ankle injury in the last match, which casts doubt on his availability for the match, joining Gareth Sciberras who is yet to make his first league appearance after suffering an injury in the UEFA Europa League match.
The match will be played at the Hibernians Stadium and it is scheduled to kick off at 20:00.
Come on the Stripes!
