JONINA LADIES VS FC SAMARTEX LADIES
A clash of contrasting fortunes headlines this weekend’s Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League action as high-flying Jonina Ladies host struggling FC Samartex. Jonina Ladies have been in formidable form, amassing an impressive 16 points from their opening six matches. Their potent attack and resolute defence have made them early title contenders, and they will view this home fixture as a prime opportunity to solidify their position at the top.
In stark contrast, FC Samartex has found the season challenging, garnering 6 points from six games. Sitting near the foot of the table, they are in desperate need of a positive result to spark their campaign. Facing the league leaders is a daunting task, making a disciplined and resilient performance crucial.
LADY STRIKERS VRS SOCCER INTELLECTUALS
Cape Coast Ladystrikers clash with their regional rivals, Soccer Intellectuals, at the Jukwa Astro Turf on Saturday. The post-Boxing Day clash could be crucial for the visitors despite their home defeat in the Women’s FA Cup.
Soccer Intellectuals earned their only 3 points in their last game after beating Hasaacas Ladies before their FA Cup encounter. Ladystrikers, on the other hand, have secured 7 points so far. Even though they also lost their FA Cup clash, they are determined to make a statement at their new venue. Both teams have deteriorated in performance recently, but the encounter between the two provides lots of experience which is aching to come to bear on Saturday.
HALIFAX QUEENS VS ARMY LADIES
Halifax Queens welcome Army Ladies to the Teshie McDan Astro Turf on Saturday, 27th December, 2025, as both sides lock horns in an important Women’s Premier League encounter. Army Ladies come into this fixture on the back of a 1–1 draw at home against Ladystrikers. The result maintained their strong start to the season, placing them 2nd on the league log with 13 points after six matches played. With a solid defensive structure and a disciplined approach, the Army side will be eager to return to winning ways and keep pace with the league leaders.
