Kosovo will take on Romania this Friday in a match that could have significant implications for both teams’ ambitions in the qualification. As the two sides meet, the stakes are high, with each team looking to secure crucial points to begin the UEFA Nations League on a high.
Kosovo, known for their dynamic and aggressive style of play, will seek to make home advantage count. A home record that has seen them win three and lose just one of nine matches. It is the first time the hosts will be starting their Nations League Campaign at home, in their third successive Nations League campaign.
Romania, meanwhile, will be looking to capitalise on the relative success of their Euro campaign, where they advanced to the knockout phase for the second time in their history, and surprisingly topping a group that had Belgium. This time, new coach Mircea Lucescu will hope to get off to a flying start with at least a point on the road.
For a side that has only faced off twice in the Euro 2024 qualification games with Romania winning and playing a draw in the other without conceding over the two legs, this encounter promises to be a competitive clash, with both teams bringing different strengths to the table.
