Tirana is facing a deep defensive crisis. In the 15 matches played so far in the Superiore, the team has conceded 29 goals, with an average of 1.93 goals per match.

This pace puts the team in serious danger of recording the weakest defense in the club's history. The historical record for most goals conceded is held by the 1947 team, with 50 goals during the season. The fact that Tirana has conceded 29 goals so far, while only 15 weeks have passed, is worrying.

In the past 57 seasons, the team has usually conceded 29 goals or less by the end of the championship, which shows that this season the back line is showing major problems. To avoid a negative record, Tirana must not concede more than 22 goals in the remaining 21 matches. The weakness of the defense has also significantly affected the team's ranking, which is currently in last place and seriously jeopardizes its survival in the Albanian football elite.

SURVIVAL CHALLENGE – With only 7 points collected so far, Tirana needs to secure 35-36 more points in the remaining 21 matches to survive in the Superiore. This means an average of around 1.8 points per match, an ambitious but necessary target. For comparison, last season Bylisi escaped directly by collecting 42 points, while Tirana managed to secure the “play-out” with 39 points. Two seasons ago, Laçi escaped with 46 points by going to the “play-out”, while Erzeni collected 40 points in the 2022-2023 championship. These examples clearly show that Tirana has a big challenge ahead and every remaining match will be crucial to avoid relegation from the Superiore.

TACTICAL PREPARATION – Beyond the statistics, the team must immediately improve its defensive discipline and increase its organization on the field. The weak defense has made Tirana look scattered and unprepared in critical situations, losing clear positions and allowing easy goals. The coach and staff must work on reorganizing the back line, closing the spaces between the center backs and strengthening the coordination with the goalkeeper.
