Albania vs Moldova match preview
Albania are the only side in Group E yet to get off the mark, but they’ll be confident of changing that in Tirana.
In the Red and Blacks’ only qualifier so far, they were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Poland at Stadion Narodowy, putting in a spirited display in Warsaw, but ultimately beaten.
This was Sylvinho’s first match in charge, as he seeks to guide Albania to just their second major tournament, following Euro 2016.
However, they face an uphill battle, with Poland and Czechia widely expected to take the top two spots in this group.
This month, the Eagles face the section’s two minnows, taking on Faroe Islands in Tórsvøllur on Tuesday, and anything less than maximum points across these two fixtures will be seen as a massive failure.
Moldova meantime are currently unbeaten in this group, first holding Faroe Islands to a 1-1 draw at home, needing an 87th minute penalty from Ion Nicolaescu to pinch a point.
Having ended their Nations League D campaign with three successive wins, Moldova are unbeaten in five competitive fixtures, seeking to put together a streak of six for the very first time.
This though may prove beyond them, with Albania heavy favourites to win at Arena Kombëtare.
Albania team news
Albania are without star striker Armando Broja, who suffered a nasty injury playing for Chelsea in a mid-season friendly against Aston Villa last December.
So, a 32 year old is set to lead the line, either Sokol Cikalleshi or Armando Sadiku.
Captain Etrit Berisha could get the nod in goal, chosen over Thomas Strakosha who made little impression at Brentford this season.
Moldova team news
Moldova’s main main is Ion Nicolaescu; his tally of ten international goals is only four fewer than the entire rest of the squad combined.
