The Kukësi manager S. Gega attacks this game with the team placed 10th so far. In the visitors dressing room Laçi and their manager A. Cungu are in 7th place before this match.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
0-2-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Laçi when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those three matches are 1-4 (scored/conceded).
