Later that evening, attention switches to the Top Six as Sliema Wanderers take on Marsaxlokk at the same venue at 21:00. With both teams chasing consistency and vital points against direct rivals, this encounter could prove decisive in shaping the top-half standings.

The following day, Wednesday 7 January, delivers a double helping of high-profile Top Six action. At 19:30, Valletta welcome Birkirkara to the Tony Bezzina Stadium in a classic Maltese rivalry, while at the same time Floriana lock horns with Ħamrun Spartans at the National Stadium in what is expected to be one of the standout fixtures of the round.

Match Week 15 concludes on Thursday 8 January with two Bottom Six encounters at the Victor Tedesco Stadium. Mosta face Tarxien Rainbows at 18:30 before Żabbar St Patrick meet Naxxar Lions at 21:00 in a clash that could have significant implications in the fight to avoid the drop.
