UEFA Nations League
This tournament started in 2018 and is played every two years on FIFA international dates. Its format consists of levels, i.e., there are four leagues (A, B, C and D) and each has four groups except D which has two groups: one of four teams and another of three. These leagues are formed according to the level of their teams, with A being the highest level and D the lowest. The winners of categories B, C and D are promoted to the next edition and those that lose in each category are relegated. In total, there are 55 teams.
How does Kosovo arrive?
The Kosovo national team has won three of its last five matches. Their qualification for the World Cup in Qatar was not very good where they only managed to score one victory and finished in the last position of their group with five points. In this UEFA Nations League they have started quite well winning in the first match by 0-2 at home against Cyprus. In the second match they were outplayed by Greece itself, in a match where Kosovo finished the game with nine players. In the most recent match this team won 3-2, thanks to a brace by Muriqui, player of Mallorca. Right now Kosovo is second in the group with six points and is the only one that could complicate the first place to the Greeks;
How does Greece arrive?
Greece has given a good performance in the current Nations League, as it is currently the leader of group C2 with nine points. In addition, they have scored five goals and have yet to concede a goal. By name, they are the favorites to be promoted to the B league, but they will have to earn it on the field. They came very close to qualifying for the World Cup play-offs, but taking one point from the last nine points in qualifying meant they finished third in Group B with 10 points, five behind Sucia and nine behind the Spanish national team;
