Birkirkara have received a boost as defender Mauricio Mazzetti has declared himself fit to start tomorrow’s match against Naxxar.

Coach Drazen Besek has been forced to field a makeshift defence in the last few games due to the absence of Mazzetti and Serbian centre-half Nikola Vukanac.

Mazzetti is now back in the fray with Cain Attard likely to shift to his favoured right-back role while Joseph Zerafa is expected to fill the left-back position after being certified fit to play.

Naxxar coach Clive Mizzi will be hoping that the return of captain Andrew Scicluna will strengthen his defence after the Lions suffered humiliating 8-0 defeats in their last two outings.

Defender Angus Buhagiar and midfielder Ryan Grech are in line for a recall but young goalkeeper Luke Pecorella is suspended.

Previous results: Birkirkara vs Naxxar Lions 4-0, 2-2.
