The second game week of the UEFA Nations League will see Kosovo take on Greece at Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri. Match day schedules for June 5, 2022 at 21:45 EAT.
Kosovo will not be in Qatar after they finished at the bottom of a qualification group that featured Spain, Sweden, Greece and Georgia. Ranked only 107th in the world, Kosovo thereby extended their unbeaten run to four matches after commendable results in friendlies against Burkina Faso and Switzerland back in March, and that momentum could prove crucial heading into back-to-back games in Pristina.
Kosovo prepare for this fixture confident following 0-2 Nations League success to beat Cyprus in their last outing. In that match, Kosovo had 54% possession, 16 shots with seven of them on target and goals scored by Valon Berisha (65′) and Edon Zhegrova (78′). Cyprus got eight shots at goal with none of them on target.
With three points already on the board, Greece will focus on escaping from League C, following two previous failures to do so, and following on from an impressive conclusion to the Nations League’s 2020 edition, they are now seven games unbeaten in Europe’s newest international tournament. Greece is one of only ten national teams to have been crowned UEFA European Champions.
Greece will be aiming for another victory following 0-1 Nations League win to beat Northern Ireland in their most recent game. In that match, Greece had 54% possession, four shots with two of them on target and a goal scored by Anastasios Bakasetas (39′). Northern Ireland got eight shots with two of them on target.
