Naxxar Lions are sweating on the fitness of key striker Demba Toure ahead of their derby against Mosta this evening.
Coming from a depressing run of six successive defeats, the Lions need to start picking up the points if they are to revive their hopes of avoiding automatic relegation to Division One.
Coach Clive Mizzi is hopeful of having Toure back in the squad after the Senegalese picked up a knock in the loss to Birkirkara a fortnight ago. Goalkeeper Luke Pecorella is available for selection after serving a one-match ban.
Mosta will fancy their chances of adding to their rivals’ woes after producing some improved performances lately.
Winger Dyson Falzon is still nursing a muscle injury but otherwise the Blues are at full strength.
Previous results: Mosta vs Naxxar 0-2, 1-0.
