Currently sitting second in the standings, Hibernians will be eager to maintain their strong momentum and keep the pressure on leaders Mġarr United. The Paolites will once again look to Sylvia Kabene, the Ugandan forward who made an immediate impact on her debut, scoring a sensational hat-trick against San Ġwann.
Their opponents, Birkirkara, trail just three points behind on nine and will be equally determined to close the gap. The Stripes will pin their hopes on Japanese forward Momo Ueda, who has impressed since joining the club this summer, netting four goals so far.
Meanwhile, league leaders Mġarr United will aim to continue their flawless run and secure a seventh consecutive victory when they face Valletta. The Greens have been in dominant form, claiming two statement wins over reigning champions Swieqi United this season.

The Owls will rely on league top scorer Salamatu Abdulai, who leads the Golden Boot race with seven goals. As for San Ġwann, they too are on one point and will be hoping to deliver a surprise result against the former champions.
