St. Patrick FC and Valletta FC played out a second consecutive 0-0 draw for the hosts, this time against the capital side, in the Malta Premier League on February 18, 2026. The match at the Sirens Stadium was a defensive stalemate where chances were at a premium. Valletta, coming off a win, controlled possession for large periods but found it difficult to break down a compact and disciplined St. Patrick defense. The home team's best opportunity came from a rare counter-attack, but their forward shot wide when through on goal. Valletta's most dangerous moment was a header that clipped the top of the crossbar from a corner. Neither goalkeeper was seriously tested, and the match result did little to enhance either team's attacking reputation, though the clean sheet was a positive for both defenses.
