Matchday 13 of the Assikura Women’s League kicks off this Thursday with a crucial clash between Birkirkara and Swieqi United at the Centenary Stadium (8.15pm).

Second-placed Swieqi are looking to reduce the gap on leaders Mġarr United to six points and keep their title ambitions alive. The Owls will be relying on their potent attacking duo, Sara Saliba and Salamatu Abdulai, to secure a vital win.

Birkirkara enters the match buoyed by a strong performance in a valuable draw against Hibernians in their last outing. The Stripes, currently on 16 points, aim to build on that momentum, close the gap on the top three, and challenge the teams above them in the table.

Mġarr United aims to preserve their commanding, unbeaten position when they face struggling San Ġwann in the week’s final fixture on Saturday. The Greens start as clear favorites to register their 11th win of the campaign.

In the remaining match, Hibernians host bottom-placed Valletta on Friday. The Paolites will be eager to bounce back after being held to a draw by Birkirkara in their previous game.
