Prishtina and New Prishtina Face Off in Crucial Kosovo Superliga Match
The 33rd match of the Kosovo Superliga will see a pivotal capital derby between Prishtina and New Prishtina. The match, held ahead of schedule, carries significant implications for both teams’ seasons. Current Kosovo Cup champions, Prishtina, are set to compete in the final of the Kosovo-Diaspora Supercup this weekend.
This commitment has prompted the scheduling of the derby, adding to its importance. Meanwhile, New Prishtina faces a critical juncture, with a potential relegation mathematically assured if they fail to secure a victory. The loss would also eliminate them from contention for the Superliga title.
Prishtina, conversely, is striving to achieve a win to maintain a chance of securing third place in the league standings. A third-place finish would qualify them for European competition. Official Lineups:
New Prishtina: Smakiqi, Zekolli, Vitija, Morina, Zeqiri, Doukoure, Smaci, Mekic, Nya-Vedji, Berisha, Fazliu.
Prishtina: Gjokaj, Mokono, Bytyqi, Vitija, Bajraktari, Taipi, Zeqiri, Krasniqi, Muja, Ahmeti, Kryeziu. The match, hosted in Kosovo, is expected to draw considerable attention given the rivalry between the two Prishtina-based teams. The outcome will significantly impact the remainder of the Kosovo Superliga season.
