Newcomers Valletta Dhalia will be eyeing a second consecutive win this evening as they face Ta’ Xbiex in their second encounter in the preliminary round of the Bank of Valletta national league.

The citizens are back in the fold after a long number of years and have started their campaign with a narrow win against Exiles earlier this week.

In the other match this evening, Sliema McDonalds should prove to be too strong for Gozitan side Otters Nivea.
