In qualifying for the 2018 World Championship and we get a newcomer. It’s about Kosovo which was freshly received among members of UEFA. They will go into their first match in Finland, our former opponent in the qualifying group for EURO. The game is scheduled to begin 21:45 and will be held at Veritas Stadion in Turku. The two are Group I where you still find on Croatia, Iceland, Turkey and Ukraine. The two are by far the weakest in the group and I think they will fight for place 5. What do you think? In this article you will find details about both teams and a tip.
Finland
It comes after some preliminaries that was done well in my opinion.
They finished on the 4th place, being over the Faroe Islands and Greece.
And this thanks to the 12 points collected in Greece and Faroe victories, defeating the last twice, and the draws against Northern Ireland, Romania and Greece.
Finns had only 4 defeats, and this shows that are quite strong.
The attack was done ok and scored 9 times more than Faroe and Greece and only 2 less than the successful Romania and Hungary.
No defense was not too weak and have collected just 10 goals, being over Greek and ferro this chapter.
There were far neither Hungary and Northern Ireland with defense, and they received 1 or 2 more goals than them.
After preliminaries played seven friendlies and lost six of them in one and only drew with Belgium.
It must be considered as playing with strong teams like Sweden, Iceland, Poland, Italy and Germany.
Kosovo
Fresh preliminaries is participating in any competitions, UEFA received a recently among its members.
Until now played in eight friendlies and won three of them drew in 2, and 3 of them were defeated.
They beat Equatorial Guinea 2-0 in the Faroe same score, but also those of Oman, 1-0.
Turkey, Senegal and Werder Bremen treated their defeats, the last two just 2 goals difference, but the Turks to 5 difference.
Haiti and Albania are the teams with whom they drew 0-0 and 2-2.
Kosovars could have an extremely strong team of which would have been part brethren Xhaka, Shaqiri or Adnan Januzaj, but refused to play for them now pan.
Just last may change his mind, the other three to the Nationals evolving Albania and Switzerland in EURO and once with it can no longer play for Kosovo.
But few players have such interesting Perdedaj, Kryeziu Berisha, Bunjaku, Celina or Alush evolving through the 2nd league in Germany or the first echelon of Switzerland, the Netherlands and Russia.
direct meetings
The two have not met before so the Veritas Stadion dispute will be a first in this regard.
