Tirana collects : 26 championship trophies, 16 Albanian Cups and 11 Super Cup trophies. In total 53 trophies won
Partizan has won : 17 championship trophies, 15 Albanian Cups, 3 Super Cups and 1 Balkan trophy. 36 trophies won
In total, both clubs have won 89 trophies in history.
The victory of the Reds would seal the failure of Tirana, which is a photocopy of a year ago. The problem lies in the draw. A result that will put them at the bottom of the table, as two main candidates for relegation from the Superior Category. In short, the "empire" of the capital, today is "head down", as it goes to play a derby for survival...
The Albanian Football Federation (AFH) has selected international referee Eldorjan Hamiti for this challenge. The problem? This is the first match of the season in the Superiore for the referee with an international badge.
He has only directed the duel between Besa and Lushnja in the First Category this season in the past weeks, having not been present as the main referee in the previous matches. This decision can undoubtedly bring controversy if there will be dissatisfaction from one team or the other about his decisions on the field.
Hamit's assistants in this challenge are Ilir Tartaraj and Ani Koçiaj, with Dorjan Maletaj appointed as the fourth referee. Kreshnik Barjamaj has been assigned to VAR, with Kreshnik Cjapi alongside him in AVAR.
