An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 7th place.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Veleçiku Koplik's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Veleçiku Koplik have performed like this: Played 13 matches resulting in 7 wins, 0 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 29-18 (scored/conceded).

Dinamo Tirana form and stats

Three 1st Division home games done for Dinamo Tirana, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Dinamo Tirana with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Shkumbini Peqin game, 62 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Dinamo Tirana, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Stress levels are on the rise for Dinamo Tirana's attacking players as they have now played 369 minutes without scoring in a league game. L. Ismailaj was their last goal scorer.

In their previous game, the manager M. Manzoni led his Dinamo Tirana to a defeat in the 1st Division match away at Besëlidhja Lezhë. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadiumi Selman Stermasi. Preceding that match was a defeat to Kastrioti Krujë (0-2).

Dinamo Tirana were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Dinamo Tirana have scored 0 goals here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. On the other hand, Dinamo Tirana have conceded 4 goals.
