Betting Tips and Predictions for Linfield vs Vllaznia Shkoder
Linfield to Win
When we look at the statistics of both teams, we can see that the home side has performed better throughout the season, particularly in the previous few months.
Vllaznia Shkoder has only won one of their past four away games, while Linfield has won three of their last five at home. My first Linfield vs Vllaznia Shkoder prediction is that the host will get win.
Under 2.5 Goals
The Northern Ireland team’s last seven matches had fewer than 2.5 goals scored due to their defensive solidity. They kept six clean sheets in this period. In their last 10 matches, Lienfield won 6 matches, drew 3, and lost only 1.
The away team failed to score in their last match which ended in a goalless draw. Probably the strategy of the home team is not to concede goals and to score one or two goals to have the advantage in the second leg.
Linfield to Score First
The home team has been consistent in both scoring goals and defending their goal. While the away team conceded a total of six goals in the last five games of the season, it seems likely that the home will score first.
Newest Linfield vs Vllaznia Shkoder Preview:
Linfield
David Healy’s side finished second overall, just five points behind the leaders. Linfield will have to work hard to emulate or even better their 21 wins from 33 games. The team had the most effective attacking play in the tournament scoring a total of 70 goals.
The Club finished with 11 consecutive unbeaten games. Forward Estu Vertsimen was one of the leaders up front. Joel Cooper was still a key player for the left band, where he frequently upsets the opponent’s defenses.
Vllaznia Shkoder
The Albanian squad finished the season inconsistently and left the championship race early as a result. Nevertheless, the group led by Goce Sedloski placed fourth, qualifying them to compete in the Conference League qualifiers.
The team played 36 games, recording 13 victories, 11 ties, and 12 losses. This demonstrates how uneven they were all season long. These were the stats for a club that wasn’t particularly convincing and had defensive lapses: 39 goals scored and 37 goals allowed.
