The Albanian national team will face Georgia this Tuesday evening, in the valuable challenge for Group B1, in the League of Nations.

The Reds are clear that the opponent in front of them is very difficult, but the aim is to win.

Albania comes after a very good moment and with high morale. The triumph over Ukraine, which was the first in history, has created a positive and excellent atmosphere in the red and black team.

Coach Silvinho was clear in the press conference, where he asked for caution from his team, appreciating the opponent as much as possible.

Georgia is going through a golden period, perhaps the best in their history. After the brilliance in the European, where they won the sympathy of everyone, for the game shown, Sanjol's trusted, continued the good progress in the League of Nations.

In the first game, the Georgians destroyed the Czech Republic, with a deep score of 4-1. Albania should be careful with counterattacks, as Georgia is known as a team that plays in defense, but the restarts are very fast.

Albania is also in a great moment, while fortunately, there are no injuries and all the players gathered are ready.

The Reds want to confirm that the victory against Ukraine was not a fluke and therefore from the start, they will play with a clear objective in mind, to get the 3 points.

In the past, the two national teams have faced each other 13 times, where Georgia has recorded 7 victories, against Albania's 3 victories, and three matches have ended in a draw.

The last victory of our national team was in 2005 in "Qemal Stafa", valid for the World Cup qualifiers "Germany 2006", which ended with the result 3-2.

However, the Albanian national team has a big advantage in this match, as are the fans, with an "Air Albania" filled to full capacity and expected to be like a volcano.

A special statistic gives hope for a positive result in this meeting. Coach Silvinjo does not know any loss at the "Air Albania" stadium and aims to extend the record even after Georgia.

Albania's last defeat in this stadium dates back to November 16, 2022, 1-3 against Italy in a friendly. After that came the victory against Armenia 2-0, which was also the last for Edi Reja on the red and black bench.

Then Silvinjo came to the top, who in the 5 matches played inside, has 4 wins and a draw. The Brazilian technician wants to maintain this continuity, while another victory would leave Albania alone at the top of Group B1, which would mean a small step towards the dream of seeing our National Team in a World Championship.

The match between Albania and Georgia will be played this Tuesday evening, starting at 20:45.
