The next official match of the season for the Magpies is against St Patrick on Monday 31th January 2011 in Centenary stadium in Ta' Qali. For both teams, this is the second match of the second round in the Second Division league competition. In the first round when they encountered each other, Rabat won with a score of 4-0. This time round the match will be much more difficult since St Patrick seem to have found their best form. After losing the last match and failing to reduce the distance between leaders Zejtun and followers Mellieha, Rabat want again to return back to the winning ways and remain as much as possible close to the top of the table. The end of the league is still far away and there is still space for further surprises.
Below are some history results and statistics.
