FC Balkani and FC Drita seem to be fighting until the end for the championship title. This duel for first place has been going on for five years now, with the title going to Suharekë three times, and Gjilan once.
After today's 3-0 victory of Balkan over Drita, where the home team dominated in every way, the situation in the table is equal in terms of points, with both teams having 42 each.
FC Prishtina seems unlikely to keep up with the pace of the top two. The capital team is in third place with 38 points, although everything remains open as there are still 12 games left until the end of the season.
Balkan and Drita have equal points, but the team from Suharekë is better in some statistics. Especially in direct confrontations, where in three matches this season Balkan has won all: 2-0, 3-2 and 3-0.
It is hard to remember such dominance of a title rival over a direct opponent, like this season where Balkan has been more successful in duels with Drita.
Even in terms of goal difference, Balkan is better with +21, while Drita has +9.
The arrival of coach Mislav Karoglan seems to have stabilized Balkan, which is continuing convincingly on both fronts, even though it has dropped points in several championship matches.
Karoglan has been on top in the last two victories over Drita, both in Gjilan (3-2), and in today's match, where the goals were scored by Bleart Tolaj, Arbër Potoku and Almir Kryeziu, with the latter having the season of his life.
The fight for the title is expected to continue until the end, with both teams looking for points in every match. /Telegrafi/
