Valletta see no room for complacency

Valletta team manager Nicky Saliba insists there is no room for complacency in the Valletta camp as they prepare to face Irish premier side St Patrick's in a packed Centenary Stadium this afternoon.

Valletta achieved a 1-1 draw in their away game but Saliba insists in the video above that the Europa League second round tie is still open.

"It's imperative that the players remain fully focused because the second leg will be another tough encounter. We are approaching the game as if the score was still 0-0. A goal for St Patrick's would leave us facing an uphill task but I'm confident that we can also score.

"Valletta certainly put on a good show in Dublin. St Patrick's match sharpness and the wet conditions of the pitch gave them an edge in the first half but we raised our game in the second.

"We have put ourselves in a good position to challenge for a place in the next round of the competition but there's certainly no room for complacency."

The match will be aired live on Channel 702 – Melita Sports 2 starting from 5:15 p.m., kick off at 5:30 p.m.
