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 9th and the visitors in 10th 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.
Shënkolli form and stats
Shënkolli have played three 1st Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Shënkolli drew their last game, 1-1 away at Oriku (placed 5th). Before that game, the home loss against Devolli with the scoreline 0-1.
Shënkolli have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. From these home matches, Shënkolli have conceded only 2 goals.
Elbasani form and stats
Things could have gone better for Elbasani in their 1st Division away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
Elbasani are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the 1st Division against Iliria Fushe-Kruje (placed 8th). A 0-1 defeat away at Turbina Cerrik before that.
Goals are few and far between in Elbasani's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. Elbasani have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
