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.

Mirdita form and stats

Mirdita's struggle is real here at Stadiumi Shënkoll with only 1 point collected from 10 2nd Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-1-9. Mirdita are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadiumi Shënkoll with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in ten attempts. The last victory here came in the Shënkolli match. It's trouble wherever Mirdita are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The lack of attacking qualities in Mirdita means that they have only scored 4 goals in 10 league home games, less than half a goal per match. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Mirdita having conceded 29 goals here at Stadiumi Shënkoll so far.
