Team Form

St Andrews FC come into this fixture on a terrible run, with their last five results reading L, D, L, L, L. They lost 3-0 away to Victoria Hotspurs, drew 2-2 away at Pieta Hotspurs, then suffered three consecutive defeats: 0-1 at home to Swieqi Utd, 1-3 at home against Birzebbuga St. Peters, and 3-0 away at Melita FC. That’s four losses in five matches, just three goals scored and 12 conceded—a massive defensive vulnerability.

Santa Lucia FC present a contrasting picture. Their last five results are D, W, W, D, L. A goalless home draw with Vittoriosa Stars was followed by an impressive 5-1 away win at Mtarfa and a 3-0 home victory over Zurrieq. A 1-1 draw away to Mgarr United FC and a narrow 0-1 home loss to Marsa FC complete the sequence. They’ve scored nine goals and conceded only three in those games, showing both attacking threat and defensive solidity.

Head-to-Head Record

These two sides have met twice in recent First Division history, with one win apiece. On February 14, 2026, St Andrews FC edged a 2-1 home win. Earlier, on November 24, 2024, Santa Lucia FC dominated 2-0 at home. There are no draws in the head-to-head record, making this third encounter intriguingly balanced historically.

Win Probability: St Andrews FC or Santa Lucia FC?

Based on the available odds and recent performance data, we calculate the following win probabilities: St Andrews FC win – 25%, draw – 30%, Santa Lucia FC win – 45%. The raw market odds implied around a 29% home win, 37% draw, and 34% away win, but we have adjusted these numbers downward for St Andrews because of their dreadful form (four defeats in five, poor defense) and upward for Santa Lucia who have two wins and two draws in the same period, scoring freely while keeping things tight at the back. Santa Lucia are clear favorites in our projection.

Odds & Match Prediction

Bookmakers cannot agree on a clear favorite: the fixed odds show St Andrews FC as high as 3.25 and as low as 2.75, a draw ranging from 2.15 to 3.40, and a Santa Lucia FC win between 2.15 and 2.90. One bookie has Santa Lucia at 2.15, making them the most probable outcome in that set. Considering St Andrews’ struggles and Santa Lucia’s solid recent displays, our St Andrews FC vs Santa Lucia FC prediction backs an away victory or, at worst, a draw. However, the head-to-head is even, so St Andrews cannot be completely dismissed. Based on the stats, Santa Lucia FC are the team more likely to leave with three points.
