After the first game it's Kukësi - Partizani Tirana 0-0 in points. Who will triumph in this second Superliga game of the season?

It's no vacation for neither Kukësi nor Partizani Tirana as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Partizani Tirana have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-1-0 (win-draw-loss) from three matches.
