NSI vs Hamrun Spartans prediction

NSI Runavik come into this one on the back of a goalless draw with Klaksvikar Itrottarfelag in their most recent outing. That didn’t knock them off top spot in the Faroese Effodeildin as they sit just clear of KI.

They now face a Hamrun Spartans side that had their three-year Maltese Premier League title-winning run ended this season. They reached the league phase of the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.

Hamrun would have to be viewed as favourites overall for the tie but NSI will fancy themselves with home advantage.

NSI vs Hamrun Spartans tip: Double chance – NSI to win or draw & both teams to score
