Birkirkara Women won their last game 2-0 against Swiequi United on Wednesday the 21st of December.
As they sit top of the Assikura Women’s League with 17 points from seven games. The two teams will play at the men’s stadium, Hibernians Stadium, which is the only pitch in Malta which is owned by a club.
Marc Skinner’s side’s last outing was against Sheffield United where the Red Devils won 4-0 with Canadian Adriana Leon scoring a brace.
United will look to get the most out of this friendly with players returning after the Christmas and New Years’ break.
Fielding most of the players to get minutes under their belt will be critical to go into the second half of the season as they face Liverpool in the first Women’s Super League game back.
The team have been in training in the sunny country between Sicily and the North African coast today and yesterday.
