The Dardanians won the first match with a score of 2-1 in Pristina and any positive result qualifies them for League B.


But for the return match in Kosovo, there are major shortages.

Apart from Edon Zhegrova, who did not participate at all due to injury, the Dardans will be missing three other players who started the match from the first minute in the first challenge.
