The capital's derby begins, the two teams want to solve the classification

The 33rd week of the Superiore begins with the capital's derby, a match that this season has been played almost mainly with the objective of getting Tirana or Partizan out of crisis, and not for the objective of the championship title as has been the case in the past.

The Whites and Blues need a win as they are in the cold zone of the classification and success in the derby would remove them from danger. Meanwhile, the Reds have forgotten how to win and any chance they have of being part of the "Final Four" and going to Europe, passes precisely from today's match at "Air Albania".

It is notable that Shehi has started with Xhixha and Tabeku from the first minute, while choosing to leave names like Cortes, Alvarez and Falaje on the bench. Meanwhile, Kërnaja has selected Contreras as the starter, leaving Skuka, Keko, Toma and Fadairo on the bench.

7' Sembene tries to find Isgandarli with a long ball, the striker is also signaled for offside.

1′ The duel begins at "Air Albania".
