With 26 league titles, KF Tirana are the most successful team in Albania. In the 2021/22 season, they once again won the title, and last season were very close to securing the 27th title. They were tied with Partizani with 67 points, but due to a worse h2h score, they finished 2nd. In the current season, the blue-whites won four points in two rounds.
Skenderbeu are the fourth-most successful club in Albania, with eight league titles. Seven of those came between 2010 and 2018, but after that dominant period, their results started declining, and were even relegated from the Superliga in the 2021/22 season. But, they instantly returned to the Albanian top-flight division by winning the First Division. In the current season, Skenderbeu had a fantastic start with two wins in two games.
KF Tirana vs Skenderbeu pick: KF Tirana to win
KF Tirana didn't have the best start of the season as they lost vs Egnatia in the Super Cup. However, they received a red card in the 25th minute and still went to extra time. In the Europa Conference League, they were eliminated by a highly-favored Besiktas but did fine in the home game even though they lost 2:0. At home, they are a very good team by Albanian standards, and in the previous season, won 55% of the games (10 of 18). This season, in the league, they won one match and drew one game with four conceded goals. The blue-whites played both matches on the road, and we think they will perform much better at home, especially on the defensive end.
Skenderbeu started the season great with two (1:0) wins vs Egnatia and Dinamo Tirana, but now will face a much better team in FK Tirana. In the previous season, in the First Division, Skendebeu had big problems on the road, as they won only four of 13 away games vs poor competition.
In the previous five h2h games, we have seen four wins for KF Tirana and one draw. Additionally, KF Tirana haven't lost in the last ten h2h games at Selman Stërmasi Stadium vs Skenderbeu.

KF Tirana team news
The first goalkeeper, Gentian Selmani, broke his leg in a game vs Besiktas and will be absent for a long time. With him out, 43-year-old Ilion Lika will start on the goal.
Central defender Bruno Lulaj is suspended for violent behavior from last season, but according to credible sources, he has muscle problems and wouldn't play anyway. Erion Hoxhallari and Filip Najdovski will most likely start as central defenders in this match, as they did in previous games.
