Partizani Tirana form and stats

When playing at home in the Superliga, Partizani Tirana have managed 6 wins, 4 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 12 games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Partizani to get some points in this home game.

Partizani haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 268 minutes ago. William scored that one.

In their previous game, the manager A. Sormani led his Partizani to a defeat in the Superliga match away at Vllaznia Shkodër. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadiumi Selman Stërmasi. Ahead of that match, Partizani Tirana lost 0-1 at home to Teuta Durrës.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Partizani as they have a new game in only four days, a Superliga match thankfully also at home. Kukesi are visiting.

The Partizani fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. From these home matches, Partizani have conceded only 8 goals.
