SHKODER, Albania (Interstat) — Vllaznia Shkoder hosts AF Elbasani on Sunday, May 31, 2026, in a Superliga clash that carries weight for both sides as the season nears its conclusion.

The teams have split their four meetings this season, with each winning twice on home soil. Elbasani took the most recent encounter 3-1 on April 27 in Elbasan, while Vllaznia won 2-1 at home on Feb. 15. The other two contests were decided by a single goal: a 1-0 Elbasani win Dec. 8 and a 1-0 Vllaznia victory Oct. 4.

Elbasani enters on a two-match winning streak, having dispatched FC Dinamo City 3-0 on May 24 after a 3-0 victory over Partizani Tirana on April 13. The team has shown inconsistency, however, with losses to KF Tirana (3-1 on May 10), Bylis (2-1 on May 6) and Vora (4-2 on May 2). Over its last 10 league games, Elbasani is 5-4-1, with the lone draw coming against Egnatia Rrogozhine on March 20.

Vllaznia Shkoder has struggled recently, losing four of its last five matches. The lone bright spot was a 2-0 win over Flamurtari on May 10. Since then, Vllaznia fell at Egnatia Rrogozhine 2-1 on May 23, lost at home to FC Dinamo City 2-0 on May 16, dropped a 1-0 decision at KF Tirana on May 6 and lost 2-0 at Bylis on May 2. In its past 10 league outings, Vllaznia is 2-3-5, with draws against Vora (0-0 on April 18) and FC Dinamo City (1-1 on April 8, and 0-0 on March 21).

The head-to-head history suggests tight margins: three of the four meetings were decided by one goal, and the other by two goals. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for the visitors, which would give Elbasani a 3-2 edge in the season series.

Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at Loro Boriçi Stadium.
