Match Stats

Albania: 

Sitting second in Group 1 with six points, Albania remain in contention for promotion but face a must-win scenario against the group leaders. Sylvinho’s side showed resilience with a 1-0 victory over Georgia last month, thanks to Kristjan Asllani's strike, keeping their promotion hopes alive. With two home games remaining, Albania aim to capitalize on their stronghold in Tirana to secure at least a promotion playoff spot. However, their inconsistency in this campaign, including defeats to Georgia and the Czechs, could prove costly.


Czech Republic: 

The group leaders, with seven points, can clinch promotion to League A with a win and favorable results elsewhere. Ivan Hasek's team recovered well from an opening 4-1 loss to Georgia, claiming vital victories over Albania and Ukraine. Tomas Chory's double in their 2-0 triumph over the Albanians last month showcased their attacking prowess. With promotion in sight, the Czechs will be determined to end Albania's hopes in what promises to be a fiercely contested encounter.


Prediction: 1-2
