- Competition: Abissnet Superiore
- Date: Thursday, 27th March, 2025
- Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CET
- Venue: Stadiumi Niko Dovana (Durrës)
On Thursday evening, two relegation candidates, Teuta and Skenderbeu, will face off in the Abissnet Superiore 31st round at Stadium Niko Dovana in Durrës.
Teuta managed to win their second league title in 2020/21 but were nowhere near that in the following three seasons, finishing sixth each time. But this year, they are underperforming, considering they are sitting in 10th (last) place with 30 points from 10 rounds. Still, they are only one point away from 8th place (relegation playout) and two points away from the safe zone. However, considering they won just once in the last 12 games, we can safely say they have every reason for concern.
Skenderbeu were fantastic between the 2010/11 and 2017/18 seasons, winning seven league titles. However, they were not great after that run, even spending one season (2021/22) in the second tier. This year, the popular Snow Wolves look like they could take another trip to the league below. Right now, they are tied with the last-placed Teuta with 30 points each. But unlike Teuta, Skenderbeu won three of the last five and are definitely on the rise.
Teuta vs Skenderbeu pick: Under 2.5 goals
Teuta have been fantastic for this bet lately, considering they were under 2.5 goals in the last four matches. The last two games vs Elbasani and Partizani finished as goalless draws. They are generally a team that struggles to score and have scored one or zero goals in 12 out of the last 13 games - 92%.
Skenderbeu are the second worst offensive team (behind Teuta) with 27 scored goals in 30 rounds - 0.9 per game. Even though they are in good form, we do not trust them to score away from home against a team that plays a pretty defensive style of football.
In the previous h2h game at Stadiumi Niko Dovana, we saw a 1:1 draw. Moreover, five of the last h2h games at the mentioned stadium finished with fewer than three goals.
Considering the trend in Durrës and all the above, we firmly believe that an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this Abissnet Superiore tie.
