Albanian National Team [General topic]

[Aurora Bulkualis]

Hoxha starting. Laci benched.

Sylvinho coming to win tonight!

Laci takes a seat and Bajrami takes his place in midfield.

Sugar Ray Manaj up top for Albania with Hoxha and Asani on the flanks!

Kvaratskhelia and Mikautadze are the starting forwards for Georgia!

[ZenMaster]

I don't know what to say about Hoxha over Laci, maybe it's too offensive. Everyone is obsessed with Kvara and Mikautadze but Chakvetadze is player i fear most because of his flair.

Mikautadze is a small guy..

I am not worried about him. We should be able to lock him down.

Kvaratskhelia is my worry.

Big, physical, talented player who is strong with both feet and has wreaked havoc against the best nations in Europe!

[Dallku]

Very brave from Sylvinho to go away from the solid 3 men midfield...

But maybe Laci is not fit and there are no other alternatives. Still too early for Medon Berisha to get meaningful minutes and Abrashi is not box to box like Laci.

This is the real test for our defence. Ukraine had some scrubs up top and left last game. Hopefully Kumbulla and Ismajli can rise up to the occasion!

To be honest, this is the formation we used against the Czechs and Poles last September. The 4 man CM thing came only after Croatia.

I feel like he might use that against bigger teams, but against smaller teams he'll go back to what we used last time.

Albania got mauled by Chile with only Asllani and Ramadani in midfield and Nedim Bajrami pretending to help them.

Georgia is very similar to Chile

Not even close!

Ukraine on the road is a different level to these guys!

Albania is favoured to win here!

I don't see similarities between Chile and Georgia, Chile plays 4-2-3-1 very aggressive geggenpress football while Georgia uses 5-3-2 and plays counter attacking football.
