Drita vs Llapi - Superliga

The Superliga returns to the home ground on August 16, 2026, where Drita and Llapi will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. The 18‑year‑old midfielder featured off the bench in the Foxes’ Carabao Cup first‑round tie last weekend, but could still depart before the window closes.

The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the Superliga contest at the home ground offers a chance to lay down a marker. The hosts have done enough without setting the world alight, WDLDW over their last five and a 50% win rate to their name. The visitors have found the going tough on their travels, LLL in their last five and a win rate of just 14.29% telling its own story. The contrast in attacking output — 1.33 versus 1.14 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. But Fuseini's equaliser leaves Burnley winless and bottom of the Championship, having failed to gain three points from a match Hayen had described beforehand as "must-win".

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Drita and Llapi have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. Tuesday's print edition of ABC, as relayed by Sport Witness, have claimed that Betis turned down a €50m approach from a wealthy non-Premier League club for Antony.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. The 37-year-old former Arsenal and Barcelona forward has netted in each of his first four appearances for the Galician club.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. Whatever the outcome, the Superliga fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. England captain Harry Kane is likely to sign a new deal to extend his stay at Bayern Munich despite interest from Barcelona.
