Pogradeci form and stats

Home games in the 2nd Division have been a walk in the park for Pogradeci so far, with 28 points won from 10 matches; 9 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. Ever since the AF Elbasani game Pogradeci has been unbeatable here at Stadiumi Gjorgji Kyçyku producing eight straight wins.

The club members are hoping that Pogradeci will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against Tepelena (placed 10th). This club put together a 20 league rounds long run without a defeat until that game!

Ahead of that match, Pogradeci won a home game hosting Labëria (2-1).

Goal party? Nobody knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 9 of the 12 most recent league matches with this side has seen three or more goals.

Pogradeci always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Stadiumi Gjorgji Kyçyku with 43 goals in 10 league games. Pogradeci are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadiumi Gjorgji Kyçyku in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 10 matches.

Luftëtari form and stats

Playing away, Luftëtari have won 4 games, drawn 0 and suffered 6 defeats in the 2nd Division this season. Bitter travels for Luftëtari as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Tepelena match.

Luftëtari had fun at their own home (Stadiumi Gjorgji Kyçyku) last time out, beating Devolli 5-2. A bonkers game with plenty of goals last time out for Luftëtari, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that fun game, will this game be as refreshing?

A 0-1 loss hosting Tepelena before that.

Observe that 11 of this club's 12 latest league rounds have ended with three goals or more.

Luftëtari have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 14 goals have been scored. Luftëtari struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 17 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

The two duelists also faced each other before this season: Luftëtari - Pogradeci 0-3.
