Insights:
  • Maliqi have the most scored goals (55) in 2nd Division

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.

Përmeti are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Happy, happy days for Maliqi who are already winners of the 2nd Division. This could affect their motivation.

The away performances of Maliqi, who have the most scored goals (55) in 2nd Division, have been very solid so far with 11 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats in the 2nd Division. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Maliqi hope to make it five in this match.

Maliqi go into this game after a win, the home game against Këlcyra that ended 4-0. As mentioned above, Maliqi was the only team on the pitch versus Këlcyra in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Memaliaj.

Maliqi are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 20 times in 11 away games so far. The Maliqi defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 11 games). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
