TA’QALI, Malta (Interstat) — Floriana strengthened its position atop Malta’s Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Birkirkara at Ta’Qali National Stadium on Saturday.

Stefan Marjanović opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, and Floriana added a second goal after halftime to secure the result. The win completes a league double over Birkirkara this season, having also defeated them by the same scoreline in October.

The outcome defied a pre-match projection from Interstat, whose simulator had predicted a 1-1 draw. Floriana, which entered the match as a strong favorite with a 72.5% win probability per the same service, now holds 11 wins in league play. Birkirkara’s struggles continued as it failed to score for the second consecutive match against Floriana this campaign.
