Today is the challenge that takes us one step closer to the dream of the World

A weak rival on paper, but a challenge that could be historic for Albanian football. The Albanian National Football Team, starting at 20:45 tonight, will travel to the Andorran stadium, where 3 points are a must. A victory for the red and blacks, combined with Serbia's defeat in England, automatically takes the national team to the "Play Off" phase of the World Cup qualifiers.

With a complete group, coach Sylvinho held the last training session last night on the green field of the "Estadi de la FAF" stadium.

In the press conference the day before the match, the Brazilian announced changes to the lineup. As for the goal, she has no doubts, between the two pillars will be Thomas Strakosha. In defense, Hysaj, Gjimshiti and Mitaj are confirmed, while there is a runoff between Ajeti and Ismajli for the center back.

In midfield Asllani, Shehu and Laci, while in attack it seems that the coach will trust Broja and Manaj again, with the 'only headache' being the choice between Hoxha and Uzun. All those called up will be on the bench except for the youngsters Klisman Cake and Adrion Pajaziti, who will watch the match from the stands, this is because the coach had gathered 25 players and UEFA only allows 23 players available.

Regarding the history of Albania's confrontations with Andorra, the Red and Blacks are favored, as in the past the two national teams have faced each other 8 times, with Albania having 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss to Andorra.

With two games left in the group stage of the qualifiers, Andorra holds the last place in the qualifying group, while Albania is in second place with 11 points. Serbia follows in third place with one point less and today has the toughest challenge against England at Wembley.

In Andorra, there will be a panel of 4 referees from Romania who will administer justice, in a small stadium but all tickets have been sold out.
