Europe and survival/ Superior gives the final verdicts today, here's what

Eight teams anxious for the verdicts, Egnatia for fun (has secured Europe from the third place) and Kastrioti for formality (officially dropped from Superior as the last place). We have to go back many years to see a championship that is open to the title, Europe and survival until the final week. 80% of the teams are in total competition for the goals they have, with the title to be shared between Partizan and Tirana, while the teams have 64 points each and the difference is made only by the better balance of the reds in direct matches.

The "Bulls" await Teuta, which is in fourth place, and the Durrsaks need points to keep the position that leads to Europe. On the other hand, Tirana plays against Erzen, which has vital points, as it may lose the third place, which endangers a possible victory of Bylis. The big fight between the three teams is for the fourth place, where Laçi has the easiest match on paper, as it hosts Kastriot. A loss or draw of Durrsak against Partizan would first favor Vllaznina, which in case of victory against Bylis in Ballsh, would overtake Teuta. 48 points have Durrsak, 47 from Shkodran and 45 from Kurbin, with the latter being in a race where it seems as if two fight and the third wins.

"Djemte e detit" burns even if they finish with equal points with Kurbinas (Laçi is favored by direct matches) and at the same time Vllaznia loses in Ballsh. While survival is more of a puzzle for the "play out" zone, as Kukësi is the most favored team to escape directly, as it faces unmotivated Egnatia. Bylisi and Erzeni will seek to have another chance in the extra game, but they must beat Vllaznina and Tirana, respectively. If the ballshiots win and the shijakas draw, the teams finish with the same points (41). This variant brings out the eighth Bylis, who has the advantage of head-to-head matches.
