Will Tomas Chory again create problems for Albania?

Albania will host Czechia in their upcoming match of the UEFA Nations League this Sunday, 17th November. This match will take place in the second division of the Nations League and will be important for both teams for different reasons.

For Czech Republic a victory would pretty much ensure promotion to the elite group (Group A), comprising the top 16 teams of Europe. Czechia are currently on the top of the table in their group with seven points. They have two matches in hand and would hope to hold onto their lead to secure a first-place finish.

Albania, on the other hand, would not want to lose ground to the bottom of the table Ukraine. The “Kukezinjte” are presently in third place with six points and if they hold their position would surely qualify for the relegation play-offs. Moreover, if they do manage to move up to second place they will become eligible to play for promotion play-offs. On the contrary, the scenario will completely change if they lose. Dropping off to fourth place would deal an anticlimactic blow as it would straight away relegate them to Group C.

Kick-Off

Sunday, 17th November, 1:15 AM IST

Location: Air Albania Stadium, Tirane, Albania

Form :

Albania: L-W-L-L-W

Czechia: L-L-W-W-D

Players to watch:

Kristjan Asllani (Albania)

Kristjan Asllani can prove to be Albania’s talisman against the powerful Czechia. The 22-year-old from Elbasan is a troublemaker in the midfield. Asllani is known for creating chances and can be useful for intercepting oncoming attacks as well.

A regular in the Inter Milan lineup Asllani could have very well represented Italy as he spent his childhood in the “bel paese”. However, he opted to represent his country of birth where his stars look bright.

Tomas Chory (Czech Republic)

Tomas Chory will be Czechia‘s target man against Albania. Tall and powerful Chory has already scored four goals for his country in just seven appearances. The 29-year-old might have got a late call into the national side but he is making things count.

Football runs in Chory’s blood as his father (Martin Chory) was also a former footballer. The Slavia Prague forward already scored a brace against Albania in their last meeting and if the Albanians are not careful he might inflict even more damage.

Match Facts:

  • Mirlind Daku has more yellow cards (2) than any other player for Albania. Ladislav Krejci has collected two for Czechia.
  • Czechia have lost just one of their last four games against Albania (in all competitions)
  • Albania score 1 goal when playing at home and Czechia score 1.17 goals when playing away (on average).
