Georgia vs Albania

Key Stats

  • Albania haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last 7 games

Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Albania have struggle across their last five games whereas Georgia come into this match in okay form. They sit in first place of Group 1 and Albania are on the other end of the table in fourth.

Giorgi Kochorashvili is the leading scorer of Georgia in the Nations League so at centre midfield, he could be a great help to their aims of beating Albania in this fixture. Immensly talented winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is also someone that Georgia have that could always turn any tie in their favour so he could do that again.

Georgia Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Giorgi Mamardashvili; Lasha Dvali, Guram Kashia (c), Giorgi Gvelesiani; Luka Lochoshvili, Giorgi Chakvetadze, Otar Kiteishvili, Giorgi Kochorashvili, Otar Kakabadze; Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Georges Mikautadze

Georgia have slightly struggled in their last five games which extends back to Euro 2024. Three wins and two losses isn’t too bad as the three Nations League games have resulted in them picking up six points. They head into this one with a loss in their most recent game but as part of the group they have already played Albania recently. They won 0-1 away from home in that one, the winning goal curtesy of Giorgi Kochorashvili.

The Levante midfielder has bagged himself two goals this Nations League campaign as he was able to get onto the scoresheet in Georgia’s 4-1 thrashing of the Czech Republic as well. Napoli star man Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, nicknamed “Kvaradonna”, could more than likely pose a threat to a defensively poor Albanian side and he has the chance to add to his one goal and one assist in this competition so far.

Albania Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Thomas Strakosha; Mario Mitaj, Ardian Ismajli, Marash Kumbulla, Elseid Hysaj (c); Ylber Ramadani, Qazim Laci; Nedim Bajrami, Kristjan Asllani, Jacer Asani; Mirlind Daku

Since their unpredictable Euro 2024 run, Albania have struggled. They did have a little spark left in them when they beat Ukraine 1-0 in their first UEFA Nations League B Group 1 match of the year. It was then sadly back to back defeats for Albania as Georgia beat them 1-0 and then on Friday, the Czech Republic got the better of them in a 2-0 win.

Albania will head into this match without some of the stars from their efforts in the Euros, the likes of Berat Djimsiti and Armando Broja are out through injury. Inter Milan youngster Kristjan Asllani looks like he could be one of the next big talents coming out of the Serie A, with him on the pitch Albania have a good chance of getting on the scoresheet again after blanking in their previous two matches.
