Only a win will satisfy the Tirana supporters in this Stadiumi Selman Stërmasi clash with Bylis Ballsh, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Superliga table.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Tirana have already won the league and the fans have gone wild! Even so, with the trophy already secured there could be issues regarding the team's motivation in this one. Bylis Ballsh is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
