This is the 1st Division season opener for these teams, who are finally competing for points again. Will Pogradeci or Luftëtari Gjirokastër get that important first win?
Pogradeci form and stats
Pogradeci could celebrate like crazy last season after winning the 1st Division. Home supporters are hoping for more of the same this season. In the home games here at Stadiumi Gjorgji Kyçyku they witnessed 8 victories, 1 draw and 0 defeats. In total the trophy was secured after W12 - D3 - L3 from 18 games.
Luftëtari Gjirokastër form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Gjirokastër as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 2 victories from 36 games, relegation was a fact. Luftëtari Gjirokastër's manager N. Novi are hoping to lead the team right back to Superliga at the first attempt.
