This match features two teams living in the basement of the Superliga, Skënderbeu Korçë holding 8th place and Flamurtari lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

It's no vacation for neither Skënderbeu Korçë nor Flamurtari as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Skënderbeu Korçë form and stats

Skënderbeu Korçë have collected 16 points from their Superliga home games so far after 5-1-3.

Skënderbeu Korçë's previous game was a Superliga match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Partizani Tirana (placed 5th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that game was the away draw at Kukesi that finished 1-1.

The manager I. Daja will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Besa Kavaje in only four days.

The Skënderbeu Korçë fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Skënderbeu Korçë have conceded 11 in these home matches.

Flamurtari form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Flamurtari, who have the most conceded goals (37) in Superliga, so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-9 (win-draw-lose). Flamurtari have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 9 away matches played so far in the Superliga. Flamurtari are desperate to end a 18-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Skënderbeu Korçë fixture. It's all red in the travel logs of Flamurtari, having lost nine matches in a row as the visiting team.

Flamurtari play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Vllaznia Shkodër (placed 7th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Teuta Durres.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Albanian Cup trip to Vllaznia Shkodër.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Flamurtari's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 9 matches. The Flamurtari manager M. Troisi Moreira has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Skënderbeu Korçë-Flamurtari H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Skënderbeu Korçë 7 wins, Flamurtari 2 wins, 1 draw. 1 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
