Group B, Kosovo take on Greece this Sunday September 4th as Kosovo host the match at Fadil Vokrri Stadium for the World Cup 2022 qualifiers. The Kosovo vs Greece duel in the UEFA WC Qualifiers can turn out to be more interesting than some other matchups of the round.
Kosovo are playing in World Cup qualifiers for just the second time in their history, and are coming from their first ever win in the competition and can be ranked as a weaker side by far compared to their opponents.
Kosovo are placed at the third position in the group from three games and will be looking to build from their victory on Thursday thanks to an own goal from Davit Khocholava. It was an impressive performance from the Dardanet and despite the fact that the hosts actually dominated possession. The three points are vital and they will now be aiming to earn consecutive wins in the group and continue their great form as of late.
Greece on the other hand, have only played in the group twice and have defended their post but haven’t managed a victory yet but are still unbeaten with both games against Spain and Georgia ending in a 1-1 draw which have set them in a good position.
Greece come to this match from action against Switzerland in a friendly game on Thursday, losing 2-1 to the hosts at St. Jakob-Park and they will have the confidence to meet Kosovo to overturn the loss in the match.
Greece conceded in the opening 10 minutes of the game, but Vangelis Pavlidis managed to bring the teams level before a goal early in the second half. The Greeks have conceded the least in the group apart from Sweden the top team.
Kosovo vs Greece head to head
Games played by these two sides are only two in 2020 and Greece managed a victory and the latest encounter ended in a draw. However Greece have won five of their last 10 away matches in the competition.
