Albania will play the fourth match in Group K of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Riga.
After a debut loss to England, a 3-0 win over Andorra, and a goalless draw against Serbia, the next opponent for the National Team is Latvia.
This match also marks the halfway point for the Rossoneri, who have the chance to strengthen their position in second place.
Albania currently has 4 points in the group and a victory would create a safe distance from Serbia, which plays Andorra.
If we reach the 7-point mark, we would be only 2 points behind England, who will play a friendly against Senegal.
Sylvinho projects three changes in Latvia
Two forced changes and a technical choice to refresh the attack.
These are expected to be Sylvinho's moves for today's match in Latvia.
The absence of captain Berat Gjimshiti, suspended with a card, is compounded by the injury of Arlind Ajeti.
The national team staff confirmed the defender's absence. This will mean that Ismajli and Kumbulla will be the starting line-ups in the defensive department, with Hysaj and Mitaj on the wings.
Asllani will be supported by Julian Shehu, who excelled against Serbia, while the coach has a dilemma in the attacking phase. Broja is confirmed on the right and Laçi in the director's role, while on the left wing Bajrami is in a runoff with Muçi, who has not found much space.
Manaj is expected to be confirmed at the top of the attack, to help him overcome the psychological blow of the missed penalty, given that he remains an extremely important player for the National Team.
In any case, there is no shortage of alternatives as Daku, Asani or Uzuni are all waiting for the chance to get the starting jersey.
