Sliema Wanderers face Naxxar Lions while Mosta take on Lija Athletic in the other two matches.
Gzira United vs Birkirkara, kick-off 18:30 at Centenary Stadium
Following a 1-1 draw with Floriana last week, Birkirkara will be aiming for a first win as they take on Gzira United. However this will be no easy task as the Maroons are coming from a comfortable 4-0 win over Lija Athletic in their first outing and target another positive result from this clash.
Edmond Agius is ruled out for Birkirkara as he serves a one-match ban. Cameroonian defender Sem Ogolong Kaman could make his debut for Gzira after joining the club earlier this week.
Naxxar Lions vs Sliema Wanderers, kick-off 20:45 at Centenary Stadium
After being held in a draw by Senglea last week, Sliema Wanderers will be all out to register their first win as they take on another newly-promoted side – Naxxar Lions. The Lions, on the other hand, are coming from a 0-2 defeat to Balzan last week.
This was a busy week for the Wanderers as they signed four new players, namely, Croatian central defender Nikola Gavric, attacking midfielder Seck Serigne Saliou Mbacke and two strikers – Brazilian Jefferson Mateus De Assis Estacio and Senegalese Pape Babacar N’Doye.
Mosta vs Lija Athletic, kick-off 19:00 at Victor Tedesco Stadium
The clash between Mosta and Lija Athletic puts against each other two teams who lost their first game as the Blues suffered a narrow defeat to Valletta and the newly-promoted side lost 0-4 to Gzira United.
Earlier this week, Mosta secured the services of Leonardo Henrique Ferreira from Floriana. Lija could not count on the suspended Patrick Borg.
