With the top two teams from the group earning direct qualification to the finals of the Continental competition in Germany next year, Poland and Czech Republic are the favourites to got through from Group E. But the Eagles lost to Czech Republic in their first match of the qualifying campaign, courtesy of goals from Ladislav Krejci, Tomas Cvancara and Jon Kuchta,. Meanwhile, Poland scored a consolation goal through Damian Szymanski’s 87th-minute effort. It wasn’t the ideal start for the White-Reds under new manager Fernando Santos. The Eagles have qualified for the finals of the last four European Championships and reached the last-16 stage of the 2022 World cup in Qatar, before losing 3-2 to runner-ups France.

Albania’s last outing was a friendly against Armenia in November last year, and the match ended in 2-0 win for the Eagles, thanks to goals from Xhuliano Skuka and Kristjan Asllani. The result ended their 10-game winless streak across all competitions.
