The VBET Malta Premier League returns from the international break with a heavyweight fixture: Birkirkara FC v Valletta FC at the National Stadium in Ta’ Qali on Saturday 10 October 2026, kick-off 15:30.
Two clubs with serious pedigree
Valletta are among the most successful clubs in Maltese football, with 25 league titles: the most recent in 2018-19. They arrive with silverware already in the cabinet this season, having beaten Floriana 2-0 on 7 September to lift the BOV Super Cup for the 14th time, after winning the FA Trophy last season.
Birkirkara, “The Stripes”, are four-time champions (2000, 2006, 2010 and 2013) and six-time FA Trophy winners, most recently in 2022-23. They play their home games at Ta’ Qali and are coached by Paul Zammit, appointed in January 2026.
Form going into the game
After six rounds, Valletta sit second on 13 points and Birkirkara fourth on 10, so there’s plenty riding on this one near the top of the table. Birkirkara’s season has been mixed, with wins over Gżira United and Ħamrun Spartans and defeats to Mosta and Sliema, but they returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Żabbar St Patrick. When the sides met last season, Valletta won 2-0.
