Vora enter Round 2 of the 2026/27 Kategoria Superiore with three points after a 1-0 away win over Dinamo City. Egnatia also have three points, but lead on goal difference after beating KF Tirana 3-0. The 2025/26 campaign highlights the difference in status. Egnatia finished third in the regular phase with 57 points before winning the Final Four championship group. Vora finished seventh with 42 points and a 39-40 goal record. Their four league meetings last season produced a balanced record but very few goals: Egnatia won 1-0 and 2-0, one game ended 1-1, while Vora won the final meeting 2-0. None of those four matches produced more than 2.5 goals. Recent form gives Vora an interesting advantage. They are unbeaten in their last six matches, including wins over Dinamo City, Bylis, Elbasani and Egnatia. However, their schedule has been considerably less demanding than Egnatia's. Egnatia have had a much busier schedule because of European competition. They beat Shamrock Rovers 5-1, dre

Tonbridge Angels enter the sixth round with seven points from five matches, sitting ninth with a +2 goal difference. They have beaten Braintree 4-0 and Dover 1-0, while drawing 2-2 with Billericay and losing to Torquay and Truro. Their ability to respond after setbacks is particularly notable. Following the 0-2 defeat against Truro, Tonbridge immediately earned a point away at Billericay.

Folkestone enter Matchday 6 on a positive note, remaining unbeaten in their first four league games, scoring nine goals and conceding only three. Wins over Walton & Hersham and Slough underline their current efficiency. Hemel have played one more league match but collected only seven points.

Home advantage further tilts the balance toward Folkestone. The market also gives the hosts a slight edge, with the 1X2 price around 2.00 compared with 3.82 for Hemel.
