Laci vs AF ElbasaniPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

This is the opening round of the Albanian Superliga, so there is no table to read yet. Laci built up to it with a 3-1 over Kukesi and a 4-1 against Vora, either side of a 3-0 loss to Vllaznia Shkodër and a 1-0 defeat by Besa Kavajë, while their last competitive outings ended 1-0 at Skenderbeu Korce and 2-1 over Kukesi.

In the four most recent head to head meetings, 0-1, 1-2, 1-1 and 1-0, the total never went beyond three goals. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
