Egnatia and Dinamo face each other in the Super Challenge of the 28th week in the Superiore. A challenge where spectacle is guaranteed by both teams, who will seek victory at all costs.

Egnatia comes into this match as the leader and a 3-point win against their direct rival would take them to the top. Coach Edlir Tetova described it as a mini Final Four, but added that it cannot be said to be a test for the title.

"There are very few hours, approximately 55 hours before the next match. There are very few, but we will try. The group has been good, there have been no injuries. There are 5 absences that continue, Luskja returns, the group is focused on tomorrow's match.

It's a mini "Final Four", it will be a careful, well-prepared match. I think Egnatia, given where they are, is thinking about the 3 points.

"I think it's not a test for the championship title because the Final Four is to be played later, there are 9 games. There are a lot of games ahead, of course it's a dose towards the best, it remains to be seen."

On the other hand, Dinamo coach Ilir Daja said that Egnatia deservedly leads and due to the attacking play of both teams, he declared that it will be an open match.

"We have a pretty difficult match ahead of us, because Egnatia is deservedly leading the standings and is the reigning champion. Both Vllaznia and Partizani have had a good championship, and Elbasan is also opening up the competition a little. There are 4-5 teams fighting in the upper part of the standings.

Egnatia has a consolidated maneuver and the merit goes to the coach and his staff. There is a contingent with duplicated roles. Now there is also a lighted stadium, which has given it more beauty and completed it as a club.

Beyond all this, we are also a team that has done well. We come from a good psychological side, our players are returning, despite the fact that we are missing again this time. It will be an open game, because the goal difference is equal. I hope we make as few mistakes as possible. If we leave spaces, Egnatia's players do damage at any moment.

"We need to focus to try our best in Rrogozhina. The match is not like the match. The last draw did not affect Egnatia. We also have the right potential to do well in Rrogozhina, we have all the opportunities. We also have individuals who can cause damage. It will be a spectacle inside, whoever is more pragmatic will go to victory."

The Egnatia-Dinamo match will be played this Wednesday, in Rrogozhina, starting at 16:30.
