Preview Day 21: Valletta vs Mosta Published on: 05-02-2016
Valletta will be gunning for their 10th positive result in a row but are unlikely to underestimate Mosta who held the title hopefuls to a 2-2 draw in the first round.
Michael Mifsud is out for Valletta after the veteran striker received a one-match ban for his charge on Paltemio Barbetti in the 3-2 win over Pembroke Athleta.
Coach Paul Zammit is expected to name new signings, Colombian defender Luis Vergara and Brazilian playmaker Rafael Ledesma (picture), in his squad.
Italian midfielder Claudio Pani, Tunisian forward Abdelkarim Nafti and Juan Cruz Gill, the Argentine defender, could return for Valletta after making good progress in their recovery from injuries.
Mosta coach Ivan Zammit must make do without Dyson Falzon, injured, but has no other selection worries.
It remains to be seen whether Zammit names newly-signed Nigerian players Elvis Johnson, Bello Vera and Thomas Zenke in his squad this evening.
First round: Valletta vs Mosta 2-2.
