The Kosovo Football Championship continues with the matches of the 34th round. The Kosovo Football Federation has decided that all matches will be played on Sunday from 16:00.
Drita defended the title last round, but there are still some dilemmas. Balkan has already secured its place in Europe, but still needs to confirm its second place. Meanwhile, Malisheva is also close to Europe, ranking third. Balkan has 55 points, three rounds before the end. Malisheva is third with 53 points, eight more than Prishtina in fourth place.

Prishtina is fourth with 45 points, the same as Gjilan in fifth. The chances of either of these two teams reaching the “European zone” are very small.
The matches of the 34th round are: Malisheva – Drenica, Dukagjini – Drita, Prishtina – Ferizaj, Gjilan – Llapi, Balkan – Prishtina e Re.
The race to escape the last three positions is also open. Ninth and tenth place send them to the second category, while eighth place in the play-offs. Prishtina e Re is last, respectively tenth with 31 points and almost out of the running. Ferizaj is also in a difficult position, ranking ninth with 35 points. Llapi is in eighth place, respectively in the play-offs with 40 points. Dukagjini has two more in seventh place, while Drenica is sixth with 44 points.
An interesting race is also taking place in the First League. The race for inclusion in the Super League is very strong. Two rounds before the end, Vushtrri is first with 69 points. Feronikeli has 74 and Dinamo has 68, while Vëllaznimi has 67.
The matches of the penultimate round, namely the 33rd, are on Saturday from 16:00. The matches of this round are: Liria – Suhareka, Feronikeli '74 – Trepça, Istog – Trepça '89, KEK – Vëllaznimi, Rilindja – Dinamo, Vjosa – Besa Peja, Tefik Çanga – Kika, 2 Korriku – Prizren, Vushtrri – Ramiz Sadiku.
In the final rounds of Kosovo football, the top teams rarely drop points, especially in the First League. The top teams are expected to win without any problems on Saturday, but the final round pits several teams aiming for the Super League against each other. And the ending will be interesting.
