- Domestic record: KS Vllaznia Shkoder (W) finished 1st in the 2025–26 Kategoria Superiore Femra (Albanian top division) with 15 wins and 1 draw from 16 matches, 124 goals scored, 3 conceded
New meeting for two in form sides
This is a first competitive meeting between KS Vllaznia Shkoder (Vllaznia) and Spartak Myjava in the UEFA Women's Champions League qualification competition for 2026-2027.
Both sides arrive in good form, but the odds give the advantage to the Albanians at 1.47, with Spartak Myjava 5.53 and the draw at 4.7. While both sides should be in the match, Vllaznia have more of a home-side aura to them.
Vllaznia have an attacking edge
Vllaznia's approach
Both these sides have strong attacking pedigree and a contrasting approach to the game. Vllaznia will be looking to open up the match with an attack-first structure.
They overloaded wide areas and pressed with numbers to get forward in the Kategoria Superiore Femra in 2025–26, where they recorded 15 wins and 1 draw in a 16-game title campaign.
- They have a prolific goal-scorer in Megi Doçi, who topped the 2025–26 Albanian league scoring charts with 47 goals.
- They also hit 124 goals as a team and conceded just three goals all season – so they're a scoring team.
Spartak's approach
The Slovakian outfit's possession-based, aggressive, attacking game has already taken them to a domestic crown in 2025–26. Iveta Neveďalová's team stormed to the title in the 2025–26 Slovak I. liga ženy, and that momentum has carried over into Europe, as their 6–1 victory over Mġarr United showed.
Spartak can stay compact, sit deep and punish the spaces left behind by Vllaznia, which could lead to a close contest as both teams try to break through.
Back goals and a close Spartak Myjava edge
Over 2.5 goals at 1.48 looks a solid line for the clash, given the attacking pedigree of both of these sides. Both teams to score is also an option in what should be a competitive matchup.
Tamara Kramlíková is one of Myjava's key finishers, and Radoslava Jacenková and Andrea Bogorová have a scoring knack from a deeper position.
Viktória Opálková is a solid 'keeper, and Myjava's core, which was enough to win a title in Slovakia, should be strong enough to edge this tie against a Vllaznia side that has less match rhythm in recent competitive play, although their 2025–26 Kategoria Superiore numbers suggest they can score enough goals and dominate most games.
Myjava's win over Mġarr United in July shows they can put chances away in Europe in bunches, but fine margins between the sides mean a 2–1 away victory could be on the cards, or a fast-paced draw.
