Naxxar Lions-Qormi is a relegation six-pointer with the outcome crucial for either side’s prospects of avoiding the dreaded drop.

The Lions, who collected four points from their last two matches, will fancy their chances of clinching a valuable victory over Qormi even though they lost two key players this week.

In fact, midfielder Nikola Tasic will not be in the Naxxar squad as his visa expired and he had to leave the islands while forward Eduardo Vallecillo is out with a one-match ban.

On a more positive note for Naxxar, striker Demba Toure has been given the go-ahead to play after a foot injury.

Qormi are left with no room for error as failure to beat the Lions will result in relegation to Division One football next season.

Previous results: Naxxar vs Qormi 1-1, 5-0.
