Albania will face Georgia at the Arena Kombëtare on Tuesday in another round of their 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign. The home side endured a difficult European Championship campaign in June but have bounced back from that with a win in their Nations League opener on Saturday.
They beat Ukraine 2-1 at the Stadion Letna in Prague, falling behind early after the restart before Ardian Ismajli and Jasir Asani got on the scoresheet minutes later to help secure maximum points for the Red and Blacks.
Georgia also kicked off their group stage run on a high, building on their positive Euro 2024 performances. Facing off against the Czech Republic at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium on Saturday, the Crusaders secured a 4-1 with four different players getting on the scoresheet, including Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, before their opponents scored a late consolation goal.
The visitors now sit atop Group 1 with three points from an obtainable three and will be looking to add to that tally when they play this week.
