The Albanian national football team will take to the "Air Albania" stadium tonight to face Latvia, in a crucial match for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. For the Rossoneri led by coach Silvinjo, this match is considered a premature "final", considering the current situation in the group.
Albania is in a delicate position and any result other than a victory would put the red and black national team almost out of the race for one of the first two places that secure qualification. In case of losing points, Albania would need a miracle in the remaining matches to keep their hopes alive.
In these circumstances, the Brazilian coach has chosen to field a formation clearly oriented towards attack. Silvinjo has decided to activate some of the team's most important names, including captain Elseid Hysaj, striker Armando Broja and Sokol Manaj, to increase the team's offensive power.
The publication of the official lineups has clearly shown the coach's tactical idea: Albania will seek the three points against Latvia at all costs, exerting constant pressure on the opposing goal.
The match is awaited with great interest by Albanian fans, who hope that the national team will achieve a decisive victory that will keep alive the dream of participating in the 2026 World Cup.
