A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Laçi fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Luftëtari Gjirokastër's 10th place in the table will show on the pitch.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Gjirokastër are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.

Luftëtari Gjirokastër form and stats

There's been little loot from Luftëtari Gjirokastër's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 16 away games in the Superliga. Luftëtari Gjirokastër, who have the most conceded goals (75) in Superliga, only have 0 wins to counter their 13 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 16 away games in a row. Gjirokastër are desperate to end a 16-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Skenderbeu Korce fixture.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Superliga home defeat versus Vllaznia Shkoder with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 1-6 defeat away at Flamurtari before that.

Luftëtari Gjirokastër are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 8 goals from 16 away games. There are big problems for the Gjirokastër defense as they have conceded 48 goals in 16 away games.
