The season is still fairly new and the 1st Division table has to be read with caution. So far Elbasani find themselves in 9th position and Lushnja are placed 1st.

Elbasani form and stats

Three 1st Division home games done for Elbasani, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Three consecutive losses here at Elbasan Arena is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Elbasani's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Pogradeci (placed 5th). In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Oriku.
