Albania-Ukraine, the confrontation in numbers

The Albanian national team hosts Ukraine this Tuesday, in the game valid for the last round in the League of Nations groups.

In "Air Albania", it is expected to be a very hard-fought match, because the victory is vital for both teams.

As for the numbers, Albania knows only one victory in history against Ukraine and it was recorded in the first stage in this edition. The Ukrainian national team is not the favorite for the red and black national team, as we have a completely forgettable record against them.

The two national teams have faced each other seven times in the past, where the Ukrainians have won five times, one match has ended in a draw, while one victory belongs to Albania.

Figures that do not warm the environment of the Albanian national team, however, the motivation should be found in that victory with a reversal, 1-2 recorded in the first match of this edition of the League of Nations.

A good sign can be considered the fact that the Reds and Blacks have found the net in all four of their last challenges against the Ukrainians, including the 2006 World Cup qualifier and the two friendlies lost on neutral grounds in Italy and France. This Tuesday's challenge is very decisive for the fate of the teams in group B1.

The four teams are competing for the first place, while currently the Czech Republic is favored, which holds the first place with 8 points, followed by Georgia and Albania with 7 points each, while Ukraine ranks last with 5 points.

Albania is forced to win against Ukraine to have the opportunity to be first in the group in the League of Nations. But this does not depend only on the match between the Reds and Blacks, as it is combined with the result of the Czech-Georgia match. This challenge must end in a draw and the red and black national team finish at the top, which would lead them to the A League and hope to be part of the "play off" of the 2026 World Cup based on the overall ranking.
