Maliqi form and stats

Maliqi have only collected 3 points from their away games in the 1st Division, after 1-0-6 (7 played).

There might be some fixture complaints from Maliqi as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the 1st Division match against Burreli (0-2).

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Korabi Peshkopi.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Maliqi have scored 9 goals in 7 league games away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Maliqi's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 18 goals in 7 travels. When Maliqi is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 2 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Pogradeci, Besëlidhja Lezhë, Maliqi, Vora and Turbina Cërrik.
