Kukësi form and stats
Kukësi was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Albanian Cup.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Kukësi's two home games in the Superliga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Elbasan Arena.
The Kukësi crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to Teuta Durres here at Elbasan Arena in a Superliga match.
A 2-2 draw away in the Superliga before that, with Laçi the opponent.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kukësi as they are travelling to their away game against Partizani Tirana in the Superliga. That match is three days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Kukësi at home in the league. 5 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Maliqi form and stats
They also participated in Albanian Cup last season. This ended in the 1st round.It's not happening yet for Maliqi on their 1st Division travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Maliqi are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Maliqi play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Shkumbini Peqin.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Apolonia Fier.A quick return to home after this game, as Maliqi are hosting Erzeni Shijak in the 1st Division only three days away.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Maliqi has managed 3 goals and let in 6 from 2 matches.
