Israel will host Albania in a UEFA Nations League fixture at Bloomfield on Saturday night. The hosts are currently occupying top spot in League B Group 2 with five points from three games, while Albania are sitting at the third position, having collected just a solitary point from two games. The group contains only three teams because Russia was expelled as part of their international exile. Both sides were last in action in June, with Israel being held to a 2-2 draw by Iceland, while the visitors played out a goalless draw against Estonia.

Israel began their 2022-23 Nations League campaign with a 2-2 draw against Iceland on June 3 before getting the better of Albania 2-1, a week later. And then, in the reverse fixture against Iceland on June 14, the Blue and Whites shared the spoils courtesy of Daniel Gretarsson’s own goal and Dor Peretz’s 65th-minute strike. Albania , on the other hand, have participated in only two Nations League games. The first one against Iceland ended in a 1-1 draw, while the second one against Israel ended in a 2-1 defeat, despite the fact that Armando Broja broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time.
