Laçi form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadiumi Laçi as Laçi have scored 24 goals to get 30 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the Superliga are 9-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).

The Laçi coach Duro and his crew return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Kukësi (placed 3rd).

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Dinamo Tirana.

This is expected to be a close game, with Laçi perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Laçi as a small favourite), we find six games. Laçi has won four of these, drawn one and lost one.

Laçi have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadiumi Laçi with 24 goals in 15 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Laçi have conceded only 10 goals.

Tirana form and stats

Tirana's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Tirana collect 30 points from their 15 away matches in the Superliga. 9 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 3 defeats). Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Tirana are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Tirana have much to to set right after their out-of-character defeat (0-1) to Kastrioti Kruje in their previous outing, played at their own home ground.

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Egnatia Rrogozhine.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Tirana in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Tirana, zero draws and two defeats.

A new game in only four days for Tirana, the Superliga home match versus Teuta Durrës. Busy days.

The travelling fans enjoy Tirana's attacking play in away games, having scored 24 goals in 15 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Tirana as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Tirana - Laçi 4-1 was the story when this pair of participants previously met, earlier this season. Head-to-head statistics (for the former ten meetings): Laçi won four games, zero matches ended with a tie and Tirana have six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
