An important duel in the bottom section of the Superliga, with both Apolonia Fier and Kukësi experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 7th place.
- Apolonia Fier has the fewest scored goals (10) in Superliga
- Kukësi is in the worst form (0-1-5)
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Superliga. This match was also played here at Stadiumi Loni Papuçiu. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Kukësi have had more rest.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Kukësi have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 17-9-15 (win-draw-loss) from 41 matches.
Apolonia Fier form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Apolonia Fier, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in Superliga, have to build on here at Stadiumi Loni Papuçiu in the Superliga. Two home wins in a row for Apolonia bring valid hopes of a third.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Apolonia as they are travelling to their away game against Skënderbeu Korçë in the Superliga. That match is four days after this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Apolonia Fier here at Stadiumi Loni Papuçiu in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 7 games). Apolonia have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Kukësi form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kukësi so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Kukësi who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Tirana was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Kukësi's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Home advantage was not enough for Kukësi in their previous game, as they lost their Superliga-match, hosting Vllaznia Shkoder, 0-1. Prior to that match, the Kukësi manager S. Gega faced defeat when travelling to Laçi and losing 2-3.
A new game in only four days for Kukësi, the Superliga home match versus Bylis Ballsh. Busy days.
