- Drita have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
- Floriana have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 in all competitions.
Hosts have edge in home comforts
FC Drita Gjilan are likely to edge past Floriana at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Kosovo on Tuesday in a match that is already feeling tight and cagey.
Drita's recent form is mixed, but they have won five and lost two of their last seven at home in all competitions, suggesting they have a platform to push on for a home win.
They have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 in all competitions while Floriana have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5.
Drita's last 3 brought them a 1-1 draw away at Zalgiris Kaunas in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026, a 2-3 home loss to Zalgiris Kaunas in the return leg and a 1-1 draw away to Floriana in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.
Floriana can travel well, but not invincibly
Floriana's last 3 produced a 2-0 home win over Shamrock Rovers in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026, a 5-1 away loss to the same opponents and another 1-1 draw, this time at Drita in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.
Drita can take some momentum from the first leg, but Floriana can make things awkward for them in Kosovo.
Daniel Portela's team are well drilled in circulating the ball, pressing selectively and defending in numbers. But they are susceptible to getting caught when their full-backs go forward and Drita's counter-attacking style should suit Zekirija Ramadan's men more than it does the Maltese side.
Floriana average 1.50 goals scored and conceded per away match across all competitions, so we can expect an open fixture in Gjilan.
Drita can push on
Drita have scored 12 goals in their last 7 at home and look the likelier winners in this match-up with the more effective attacking edge.
Amar Drina is the main threat for Floriana with 1 goal in 1, but Liridon Balaj's 1 goal in 1 for Drita suggests the hosts have the sharpness in the final third to win this match.
Drita should take the tie and we are backing them for a win at 1/2, but Floriana can keep it close and won't allow their opponents to run away with it.
