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 Vllaznia Shkodër.

1 - 0 - 1 with 1-2. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Vllaznia Shkodër when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Vllaznia Shkodër play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

Relegation threatens Kukësi who should definitely be looking for some points here. Vllaznia are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Kukësi form and stats

With 4 Superliga wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Kukësi are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home Superliga games in a row without a win, the Kukësi fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Bylis Ballsh game long ago, can be stopped today. Kukësi has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Josa and the players.

A. Ibraimi was the last player to score a league goal for Kukësi and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Kukësi haven't scored in 271 minutes.

There will be little rest for Kukësi after this match as they are travelling to Apolonia Fier for a Superliga game in only four days.

Kukësi have scored 12 league goals here from 15 matches, not a lot. Kukësi's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

H. Dilaver was the last player to score for the away team. Vllaznia haven't scored a league goal in the last 217 minutes.
