When you take a look at teams from Estonia or Latvia or whatever, you can tell they're bad, but there's nothing suspicious there. These teams from Albania or Moldova are always conceding sus goals. Albos are notorious for the "extra time" odds ones. They can't wait for these Europa league matches to spread their betting $$$ to bookies all over the world.

Instead of betting 100k on conceding an extra time goal, they can go to 20 different bookies, and split it 5k each through some underground shit, so it's harder to catch. But it's going to be hard to find foreign bookies taking Albanian games, for obvious reasons lol. That's why they love these European matches.

That may be some of it. I just think these teams are poorly run. You can't expect to qualify if you lose your entire starting lineup right before the qualifiers (looking at you Partizani). These teams don't want to spend extra because they think they'll lose anyways.

Yeah, you can see by the whole Turkish 2nd division shit, which is a disgrace imo. That league is not better than Albanian league, and you have even players like Roshi that could contribute massively going there. Why? Cause they pay another extra 100k EUROs or whatever.

I don't mind players leaving for other countries to improve their game, but losing them over a few dollars is terrible.

Before the first leg, Bet365 was giving them only a ~23% chance to qualify. Hungarians play with heart when the odds are stacked against them.

Rumours say Manaj is probably staying in the first team, and I tend to believe it given he still hasn't moved (Barca have not accepted any offers for him). The first Albanian to play for Barca will be... Rey Manaj.
