The Citizens’ main target is to maintain their unbeaten run in the BOV Premier League – a positive run consisting of 32 league matches, including the last five games from last season. Having defeated the Rainbows three times this season – 5-2, 2-0 and 1-0, they obviously start as firm favourites to maintain this positive record.
For Tarxien, this will be a good test ahead of next weekend’s U*BET FA Trophy semi-final when they will face Valletta once again.
Sergio Pacheco De Oliveira is ruled out through suspension. For Valletta, Steve Borg will be back after serving a one-match ban.
Celebrations at the National Stadium are expected to start at around 14:00 and will follow after the presentation of the cup at the end of the game.
