After the break due to the national team’s commitments against Armenia and Italy, the BOV Premier League resumes this weekend with a full programme of matches between Saturday and Monday.

Qormi take in Sliema Wanderers and Floriana face Birkirkara in the matches scheduled for Saturday at the Hibernians Stadium, kick-off at 17:00 and 19:00 respectively.

Coaches Stephen Azzopardi and Alfonso Greco should be able to file their best formation as no players are ruled out injured or suspended.

Meanwhile in the second match, Birkirkara chase their fourth successive win as they take on Floriana.

Birkirkara welcome back Ryan Scicluna but Brazilian striker Joselito dos Reis is still in doubt after missing the last game against Rabat. English defender Carl Tremarco should return for Floriana.
