KS Egnatia vs FK Kukesi Prediction 26.01.2023

• Competition: Kategoria Superiore
• Date: 26th January 2023
• Kickoff: 12:00 UTC / 13:00 CET
• Venue: Rrogozhinë Stadium

Last-placed relegation zone candidates Kukesi will take a trip to the Rrogozhinë Stadium as they face Egnatia next. The home side, Egnatia, are fourth in the Kategoria Superiore, Albania's top-flight footballing competition. They have won or drawn 12 of their 17 games played and just sit two points behind third-placed Vllaznia in anticipation of a Conference League qualification. On the other end of the table, Kukesi sits last with just four wins from 17 games, conceding more goals (19) than they have scored (14) in 2022-23. But, Kukesi come into this tie with a more than decent away form. The visitors have lost just three games from their 8 outings this year. Egnatia would be ruing their psychological disadvantage obtained from the lack of wins in five of the eight home games played.

Egnatia vs Kukesi Betting Pick #1: Under 2.5 goals

The last five meetings between the two sides have been very tight, and have thus ended with under 2.5 goals after either team has cancelled out the other with negative tactics. This season too, the two teams have returned to the same strategies as both sides have not seen more than two goals in seven of the last eight games played by them. In fact, Kukesi have not scored in their last three games too. We thus believe that history will repeat itself and this game will end up again with a narrow result.

Pick #2: Egnatia to win

Egnatia might have won just thrice from eight home games, but this is the kind of match that they surely need all three points from if Conference League qualification is targeted. The home side is playing the weakest opposition in the Albanian top flight, and it will not get easier than this to secure all three points and a clean sheet too. We are expecting a 1-0 win for Egnatia in this game.
