Vittoriosa started their league with a sequence of positive results. These were three consecutive draws and three consecutive wins, resulting in a total of twelve points. They only last their last encounter with a minor result.

On the other side, viewing recent results and performances, Rabat seem to have started to find their best form. They managed to win their first encounter of the season, and also managed to keep the first clean-sheet of the season, which was one of the main point of force during the last season. Credit to the recent performances must be given to the new coach, which was capable of boosting the team and every individual available in the squad. Also, a credit must be given to the recent addition to the squad of the Albanian foreigner, which left a positive impression on his debut with possible margins of improvement when he gets used to his new squad members and to local football style.

From the start of the league, Vittoriosa managed to score a total of nine goals while Rabat scored a total of five goals. Vittoriosa conceded a total of seven goals while Rabat conceded a total of thirteen goals.
