Match background • Serbia are meeting Albania at senior level for the first time since independence, though Yugoslavia twice beat Albania in 1968 UEFA European Championship qualifying. • Those sides met in preliminary round Group 4. Rajko Mitić's Yugoslavia were 2-0 winners in Tirana on 15 May 1967 and then beat Loro Boriçi's Albania 4-0 in Belgrade on 12 November the same year. They went on to reach the final, where they lost to Italy in a replay – 3-1 in Rome following a 1-1 draw in the Italian capital two days earlier. • Albanian and Serbian clubs have met in four UEFA club competition matches. Both nations' clubs have identical records (W1 D2 L1), though the Albanian club was victorious in both ties: KS Flamurtari beat FK Partizan 3-2 on aggregate in the 1987/88 UEFA Cup first round, while away goals proved to be the difference as KS Besa got the better of FK Bežanija in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup. • The most recent encounter between Serbian and Albanian sides came on 24 March 2012, when Serbia beat Albania 3-0 in a UEFA European Under-17 Championship elite round match in Vienna, Austria. 3 Serbia - Albania Tuesday 14 October 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Stadion FK Partizan, Belgrade Squad list Serbia Current season Overall Qual.
