Kosovo is looking for its first win against Romania for the fourth time after two Euro 2024 qualifiers in which it drew 0-0 at home and lost 2-0 in Bucharest as well as losing at home in this edition of League of Nations.
The Dardanians have already secured at least one place in the play-offs, during which they will face a third-placed team in League A over two legs, so this is actually an ideal case for possible qualification automatic in League B for the first time, reports KosovaPress.
Today's challenge in Bucharest will not be easy at all, and this is made even more difficult by the fact that there may be an unfriendly atmosphere in the stands from the fans, something that has already been proven in the last match.
However, the coach of Kosovo, Franco Foda, said at the press conference before the match that he expects a qualitative game from his players and that the chances of direct qualification are still concrete.
Even in this challenge, Fida cannot count on the services of the players as a series of injuries to key players such as Milot Rashica, Leart Paqarada and Bersant Celina due to injuries.
Romania is the leader of the group with 12 points, three more than the second place Kosovo, while Cyprus has three points and Lithuania is the last with zero points.
The match starts at 20:45.
