Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Selenicë languishing in the 13th position so far. The guesting Naftëtari Kuçovë will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

For Selenicë relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Naftëtari is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
