Albania will be particularly disappointed with their form in recent games. In their last six matches, they have managed to win none and drawn three along with three defeats. Now with the promotion spot already secured by Israel and no risk of relegation, Albania have little to play for but they would want to beat Iceland and jump to the second spot.
Iceland, too won’t be pleased with their recent form. They have earned just two wins along with three draws and one loss in their last six fixtures. Iceland will be highly disappointed by the fact that they couldn’t challenge Israel for the promotion spot. Now with the last round coming up, Iceland will be determined to not let the second spot slip and go to Albania.
Albania will have to manage without the services of the injured Endri Cekici and Keidi Bare. For Iceland, this is their first match of the current international break so it won’t be a surprise to see their strongest XI playing the game.
Albania possible line-up: Strakosha, Balliu, Ismajli, Ajeti, Hysaj, Gjasula, Abrashi, Asllani, Laci, Uzuni, Broja
Iceland possible line-up: Runarsson, Palsson, Bjarnasson, Magnusson, Olafsson, Sigurdsson, Porsteinsson, Haraldsson, Gunnarsson, Poroarson, Finnbogason
