Oh man! Im by no means a football expert but there is something I have to say: you gotta admit our people have in general difficulties to distiguish good from bad.

I mean how some can see a player in Balaj is a mistery to me. Not only him but also Hoxhallari etc. Then the media I mean Iv never seen a correct formation on the TV screen or expected line ups in the news etc.

I mean how should Cekici work in that formation?

But then again. It is Albania. Nothing is impossible

This is an important game for Broja to show if he has improved since last time he faced San Marino. And why not maybe even stat pad a little...

Bajrami is guaranteed to create chances.

This is also a great chance for Manaj to win a penalty he so badly craves for.

Panorama Sport is reliable source only if you have interest about gold diggers. According to Supersport our line up will be, Strakosha, Doka, Ismajli, Kumbulla, Djimsiti, Hysaj, Laci, Bare(Ramadani), Bajrami, Uzuni, Manaj(Broja).
It is unclear if Bare or Ramadani will start in midfield and which one from Manaj or Broja will start on attack.

It’s not a bad lineup besides the fact Broja still getting benched for Manaj lol. Maybe a more attacking option in for Doka but I don’t necessarily mind Doka there.

Maybe with Bajrami and Uzuini we can pull a 3-0 as opposed to a 2-0. Manaj is also looking for his tap in after bottling 3 chances so he can justify a starting spot for the next set of matches

Bet365 suggests roughly ~77% chance on the over 2.5.

Albania is favored to win by a margin of 4+ goals.

---------------Strakosha
------Ismajli-- Kumbulla-- Djimsiti
Hysaj------- Bare----- Laci--------Uzuni
----------------Bajrami-----------------
----------Broja----------Manaj

Best lineup we can put together considering Cika is injured. No reason to have two defensive wingbacks. In attack we can use our width with both Hysaj and Uzuni, and in defense we essentially go back to a 4 man defense with Hysaj dropping back as a RB.

Broja not starting is also an ego thing for Reja because Broja humbled him last game for leaving him in the stands/bench. He doesn't wanna get humbled again in a much easier matchup. Selfish but this is a veteran coach. He's not trying to look bad.
