Qormi and Sliema in search for win to make up for disappointing form

The first match on Sunday pits two teams coming from a very dismal form; with Sliema winless in their last four outings and Qormi gaining just two points in their last three matches. 

 It is hard to make something out of this encounter as both teams have endured a somewhat indifferent time this term.  After a summer of high expectations with persistent rumours of rich investment within the club, the Wanderers seem to struggle in every match this season failing to produce good football all round.  Coach Stephen Azzopardi is still looking for his first win since his return at the club.  The Wanderers have been inconsistent to say the least so far this season with an attack which at times struggled for goals, and lacking in real strength in back line which will be tested by the pace of Qormi strikers Frank Temille and Alfred Effiong.

With both sides being so inconsistent this season, it is hard to predict anything in this match however both teams will be hoping to bounce back from a very disappointing period in the hope to collect enough points before reduction of points at the end of the second round.  Qormi currently sit in sixth place on seventeen points while the Blues dropped to eight on sixteen points with just four wins to their name.

Qormi will be without important trio Zoran Levnajic, Bjorn Bondin and Mauricio Latini Mazzetti all ruled out through suspension.  Stephen Azzopardi will be without the Italian Fabio Mangiacasale and talisman Michael Mifsud who is out with a long layoff.
