Ildefons Lima is still the best-known player with 121 international appearances in which he scored eleven goals. He leads his team as captain on the court.

In five of the last ten games zero has been held.

Only against Georgia (0: 3) and Kazakhstan (0: 4) there were a little higher defeats. Coach Koldo Álvarez, who has been in office since 2010, puts his protected very well on the opposing teams.

Albania – Statistics & Current Form

Albania has exciting football years behind it. After the premiere issue in 1964, the country managed to qualify for a European Championship finals in 2016 for the second time in history. The same goal is pursued by the team. Among others, World Champion France is represented in Group H, which is why the first place seems to have been taken. The main competitors for the second place are Iceland and Turkey. All the more bitter was the 0: 2 against the troupe from the Bosporus to the start on Thursday. The Albanians showed no bad performance and were the dominating team for over 90 minutes. 12: 3 shots speak a clear language. However, the guests from Turkey were more efficient this evening, which is why the team is coming under pressure. A threesome in Andorra is absolutely mandatory if the qualifying hopes are not to be buried very early. That it will be difficult to prevail against the well-known competition with the current squad was foreseeable. By the way, coach Christian Panucci announced his retirement after the break-up. The selection will be supervised on Monday by an interim duo.

Albania has made a small change after the messed-up Nations League, which ended as group last behind Scotland and Israel, and increasingly relied on the youth. One of the most experienced was and is Captain Mergim Mavraj. After his red card against Scotland in the fall, however, he was locked against Turkey and could not help with that, to prevent the defeat. The former HSV star is not the only player in the Albanian squad known in football Germany. Attacking man Amir Abrashi will also be familiar to some. The 28-year-old is under contract at SC Freiburg and has developed there in the second half of the season. Overall, there are some players who are under contract with internationally renowned clubs. Compared to Andorra, Albania has a lot more options and the odds for a away win away are far lower. The only question is whether the guests will act more forcefully this time in front of the opponent’s goal than against Turkey. A renewed odds could endanger the duty-threesome in the group underdog.

Expected formation of Albania:
➾ Berisha – Djimsiti, smajli, Veseli – Balliu, Xhaka, Abrashi, Hisaj – Memushaj, Uzuni, Balaj
