Hibernians take on Santa Lucia, Balzan face Gzira United while Naxxar Lions take on Hamrun Spartans.
In the first match at the National Stadium, Floriana meet Birkirkara.
The two teams registered wins in their first outings as Floriana beat Santa Lucia 4-0 while Birkirkara defeated Sliema Wanderers 1-0.
Birkirkara continued to strengthen their squad over the past days with the signing of Daniele Mariani, Marko Djurisic and Ali Diakite.

The Paolites will be hoping to continue where they had left last week as they defeated Gzira United 4-0. Santa Lucia, on the other hand, hope to bounce back from the 0-4 defeat to Floriana.
Steve Pisani is ruled out for the latter as he serves a one-match ban.

Both teams chase their first points as they suffered defeats but while Balzan lost narrowly to Hamrun, Gzira conceded four goals in the defeat to Hibernians.
