Malta BOV ePremier League Group B Recap - Tight at the Top

One of the main storylines heading into this group was the iconic rivalry between Valletta FC and Floriana FC. In this particular instance however, Valletta FC did get the better of Floriana, both in the head-to-head and the overall standings.

Moreover, the veterans of "Tubbi" (Marsaxlokk) and "Turbulense" (Birkirkara) reminded the less-experienced competitors as to why they're respected as some of the best on the island. Standing off against one another in a tie-game, both teams would then suffer an additional draw to remain undefeated.

Under all this pressure, the likes of Floriana did their best to put up a fight while Pieta couldn't get much going.
