Move to Turkey or Asia.

Mehmeti no callup? What does he need to do to at least get on the bench?

Manaj should be able to feast against Gibraltar.

Please no more Manaj up top

List for next matches:

Portierë: Thomas Strakosha, Elhan Kastrati, Mario Dajsinani

Mbrojtës: Elseid Hysaj, Ivan Balliu, Mario Mitaj, Naser Aliji, Marash Kumbulla, Adrian Bajrami, Berat Gjimshiti, Arlind Ajeti

Mesfushorë: Ylber Ramadani, Juljan Shehu, Kristjan Asllani, Medon Berisha, Qazim Laçi, Adrion Pajaziti, Nedim Bajrami, Arbër Hoxha, Ernest Muçi, Jasir Asani

Sulmues: Armando Broja, Myrto Uzuni, Rey Manaj, Mirlind Daku


Still see a bunch of amateurs like Manaj and Aliji but it is what it is. I would like to see Bajrami get a chance at center back even if Ajeti has generally been solid for the national team. Give Medon Berisha a chance too, Juljan Shehu is not the present nor the future. Manaj getting called up again is a joke.

Another thing is why isn't Anis Mehmeti not getting a chance? He's probably the best winger we have (Muci included)? Does he really think Jasir Asani or Arber Hoxha are better? Albania really over complicates player selections

Very useful preparation for the Serbia game.

Happy to see Hysaj back.

In the recent games Balliu showed how valuable Hysaj is. As a defensive fullback Hysaj is much superior and stable. Balliu is restricted from attacking anyway so there is no point of him playing. Plus he has lost his place at Rayo.

Bet365

Aleksandar Mitrovic (+130) tops the probable scorers list for this match!

Bet365 suggests Myrto Uzuni (+225) and Sugar Ray Manaj (+225) represent Albania’s best chance at scoring a goal here. Armando Broja (+450) fell off big time..

Slavic opponent like Serbia will come to play! From kickoff, the visitors will be looking to score goals and bring the game to us!

Shaping up to be a good one in Tirana!

The qualification Pots were spot on. England Pot 1, Serbia Pot 2, Albania Pot 3. We made Pot 2 for Euro 2024, but that was a one-off.

We overperformed when we beat Czechs/Polaks.
