Shënkolli form and stats

The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Shënkolli, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Internacional Tirana game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Bitter travels for Shënkolli as they have lost nine games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Klosi match.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Iliria Fushë-Krujë was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
