Struggling Vllaznia Shkodër will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Kukësi in the upcoming league round. It’s 8th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Kukësi could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Albanian Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Teuta Durrës, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Kukësi.

Vllaznia Shkodër's stadium, Stadiumi Loro Boriçi, has a grass surface. Kukësi have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Kukësi when playing on grass; 17 wins, 8 draws and 14 losses from 39 matches. They have scored 48 goals in these games and conceded 42.
