Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Vllaznia Shkodër & Elbasani face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Albanian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
The hosts Vllaznia saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Superliga. That game was an away game at Skënderbeu Korçë, so at least Vllaznia are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Vllaznia Shkodër form and stats

That’s what Vllaznia Shkodër have to build on here in the Superliga.

Early season league goal statistics from Vllaznia Shkodër's 1 home game: 2 goals, 0 conceded.
Elbasani form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Luftetari Gjirokaster in order to reach 2nd Round of Albanian Cup. Elbasani's mission in Albanian Cup last season failed in the 1st round against Laçi.The visitors are W0-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the 1st Division.
Elbasani have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 183 minutes ago. E. Peposhi was the goal scorer.
