Selenicë are welcoming Skrapari for another important game after their 1-8 result against 1st-placed Tomori Berat.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Selenicë and Skrapari.

For Selenicë relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. For Skrapari it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.

Selenicë form and stats

Selenicë's struggle is real here with only 4 points collected from 11 2nd Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-9. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. With seven home 2nd Division games in a row without a win, the Selenicë fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Tepelena game long ago, can be stopped today.

Selenicë were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Selenicë here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 11 games). Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Selenicë have allowed the opposition to score 33 goals here. Selenicë have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
