England vs Kosovo
England managed to open a report card this month with impressive results. Next, they want to achieve the same results when visited by Kosovo in the sixth week of EURO qualification. This clash was broadcast live from St Mary’s Stadium.
England now top Group A thanks to a 4-0 win over Bulgaria. Harry Kane became a hero with nicks hatrrick (24 ‘, 49’ P, 73 ‘P), while Raheem Sterling contributed just one goal. This week they can increase the distance because they have only played three times, while Kosovo are in second place with a difference of one point.
Yes, Kosovo deserves to be there after last Saturday (7/9) won the Czech Rep. They were left behind when the visitors scored in the 16th minute ‘through Patrik Schick, but were immediately chased four minutes later through the action of Vedat Muriqi. In the second half then the home winner’s goal came through Mergim Vojvoda (66 ‘).
Kosovo is quite tense with tomorrow’s game because it will be the first game against England. So far they have been away twice in this phase with a 1-1 draw against Montenegro, then won 2-3 in Bulgaria. Instead, the party over Bulgaria wekend yesterday became the second home match for the Three Lions after bulldozing the Czech Rep with a score of 5-0.
Two wins with a score of that size would certainly signal danger for Kosovo. As a peak occupant, Britain would want to secure the position with a safe distance. Impact, England will return to play a maximum to reap three points in the match later.
