Croatia vs Albania: Crunch Clash for Euro Berth
Albania's Dismal Record Against New Foes
Albania's hopes of qualifying for the Euro 2024 face a major test on Friday as they take on Croatia in a crucial Group E clash. The Eagles have a dismal record against nations they have never faced before, winning just one of their last 10 such encounters.
Recent History Haunts Albania
In their most recent meeting with a first-time opponent, Albania defeated the Faroe Islands 3-1 in June 2023. However, their overall record against uncharted territory remains poor, with four defeats in their previous nine matches. This worrying statistic will weigh heavily on their minds as they prepare to face Croatia, a team they have never played before.
Croatia's Dominance
Croatia, on the other hand, will be confident heading into this fixture. They have won their last three matches in all competitions and have a strong pedigree at major tournaments. The Croats reached the final of the 2018 World Cup and will be eager to make a similar impact at Euro 2024.
