The Reds are currently joint-seventh on eleven points, three ahead of the Spartans who are currently second from bottom.
After losing to Hibernians and Tarxien, Mqabba could only earn a point in a draw with Mosta in their last outing. However a major boost will be the return of Serbian striker Bojan Mamic who missed the last two games as he was serving a two-match ban. Pierre Grima is ruled out as he is suspended.
The Spartans, on the other hand, disappointed hugely in a 5-3 defeat to Marsaxlokk after holding Hibernians in a 1-1 draw the previous week. No Hamrun player is suspended but Roderick Fenech and Steve Bonnici are ruled out injured.
