- Tirana have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kukësi and Tirana.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting 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 1-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.
Kukësi form and stats
3 victories, 0 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Kukësi have to build on here at Elbasan Arena in the Superliga. Kukësi are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
Kukësi faced defeat in their previous match, away at Kastrioti Krujë (0-1). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Skënderbeu Korçë in a game that was won 3-1.
Kukësi are traveling soon after this match as the Superliga match at Partizani Tirana awaits in four days.
Kukësi has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. From these home matches, Kukësi have conceded only 3 goals.
Tirana form and stats
Playing away, Tirana have won 1 game, drawn 2 and suffered 1 defeat in the Superliga this season.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Skënderbeu Korçë (placed 9th) in their previous outing. The Superliga match ended in a draw 1-1. That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Apolonia Fier.
The schedule is very tough for Tirana now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Superliga game at Teuta Durrës is waiting in only four days.
