Egnatia vs Skenderbeu Prediction: We expect a low-scoring result

In Round 19 of the Albania Superliga, Egnatia and Skenderbeu will compete against each other at Arena Egnatia Stadium at the beginning of the new year. Egnatia, being the host team, are expected to have a strong determination to win as they will be playing on their home ground, aiming to break their current streak of two matches without a win. On the other hand, Skenderbeu, the visiting club, will also be eager to end their three-game winless streak by playing at this venue. The following table is provided to assist you in making informed betting decisions.

Egnatia has accumulated 37 points from their 18 matches played thus far in the current season, placing them at the top of the league standings.

Based on their most recent five meetings, Egnatia experienced losses in two of their matches against Partizani and KF Tirana, while they had a draw in their match against Teuta. Nevertheless, they emerged triumphant in their encounters with Vllaznia and Dinamo Tirana.

In these meetings, they have netted a total of seven goals while allowing their opponents to score nine. Given the advantage of playing on their own territory, they will want to recover from their recent losses and return to a winning streak.

Skenderbeu has accumulated 22 points from their 18 matches played thus far in the current season, placing them in sixth place in the league standings.

Over the course of their past five meetings, they had losses in their most recent games against Laci and Skenderbeu, while they achieved a draw in their match against Partizani. Nevertheless, they emerged victorious in their encounters against Turbina Cerrik and Erzeni.

In these meetings, they have netted six goals while conceding seven. Given that they will be competing away from home, their primary objective is to end their current three-game winless skid and secure a victory.

During their most recent five meetings, both teams managed to score against each other in two of the matches, with the total number of goals scored in these matches being less than three. Nevertheless, both teams achieved a draw in two matches, although Egnatia was victorious in two matches and Skenderbeu emerged victorious in one match.

Considering the repeated underperformance of both sides in their recent encounters, we expect a low-scoring outcome in the forthcoming game, maybe leading to a tie at halftime. However, the current league-leading host team will strive to achieve a win in this match during the second half, on their home ground, in the presence of their fans, despite their recent disappointing performances.
