Kosovo entertain Greece at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in their second group stage fixture of the UEFA Nations League on Sunday.
Both sides kicked off their campaigns with a win on Thursday, with Kosovo beating Cyprus 2-0 and Greece overcoming Northern Ireland 1-0 thanks to Anastasios Bakasetas' first-half goal.
With only one promotion spot available, this will be a crucial match in Group 2 of League C. Both sides finished third in their respective group standings in the previous edition of the competition and will be looking to improve upon the same this time.
Kosovo vs Greece Head-to-Head
