The Euro Champ Qualifiers match between Albania and Faroe Islands will take place at Air Albania Stadium on Tuesday at 1:15 am IST.
Albania is set to face the Faroe Islands on Monday night in a quest for a victory that would secure their leading position in Group E. While the home team has already ensured a spot in Euro 2024, the visitors find themselves at the bottom of the group with only one point to their credit.
Albania, despite the challenging presence of Czech Republic and Poland in their Euro 2024 qualifying group, unexpectedly secured a spot after initially losing 1-0 to Poland. A remarkable seven-game unbeaten streak, including victories over Poland and Czech Republic, led to early qualification. Despite a 1-1 draw in Moldova on Friday, securing a top-two finish, the team, led by Sylvinho, celebrates their return to the big stage. Now, their focus is on clinching the top spot for a better seeding, enhancing their prospects in Germany. Albania aims to prove they’re not just participants but genuine contenders on the Euro stage.
Despite initially avoiding formidable opponents in the draw, Faroe Islands faced a challenging qualifying period, securing only one point against Moldova on matchday one. Suffering six consecutive defeats and scoring just one goal since then, they lost the momentum gained from a commendable UEFA Nations League campaign. Despite a 2-0 loss to Norway on Thursday, where they kept Erling Haaland off the scoresheet in the second half, coach Hakan Ericson aims to conclude the nation’s 2023 fixtures positively. With nothing but pride at stake on Monday, Faroe Islands may adopt a more daring approach in their quest for a high note to end the year.
Albania probable starting lineup: Berisha, Hysaj, Ismalji, Djimsiti, Mitaj, Ramadani, Asllani, Bajrami, Asani, Cikalleshi, Seferi
Faroe Islands probable starting lineup: Reynatrod, Faero, Askham, A. Edmundsson, Danielsen, Hendriksson, G. Vatnhamar, Davidsen, Bjartalid, Olsen, Johansen
