Lushnja form and stats

Lushnja have been outstanding at home so far in the 1st Division with 5 wins, 0 draws and only 1 loss. Two home wins in a row for Lushnja bring valid hopes of a third.

Happy days for Lushnja in their previous game, a 1st Division match away at Besa Kavajë (placed 4th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Apolonia Fier.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Lushnja, as the Albanian Cup home game vs Kukesi is only four days away.

The Lushnja manager I. Gjyla has got the team scoring with 14 from 6 home games in the league. Lushnja have conceded 6 in these home matches.

Devolli form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Devolli so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Devolli's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The supporters enjoyed Devolli's previous game versus Elbasani (placed 10th), a 1st Division 3-1 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Devolli manager F. Fetollari faced defeat when travelling to Oriku and losing 1-3.

Devolli have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. Devolli have conceded 13 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Devolli - Lushnja 2-1.
