Nations League/The red-and-blacks’ Finland trip, Maran “returns” to Belarus! The national team continues its preparations

The objective is first place in the group, and this October 3 could decide a great deal.

Albania play in Finland their third Nations League match, and after a maximum six points from the first two duels, a positive result is the aim.

The Red and Blacks continued their preparations at the stadium in Cesena, Italy, where they triumphed 3-0 over San Marino, while this Thursday they are in Helsinki.

Good news is the return of Cake from injury, who is ready in defence.

According to information from the national team camp, coach Rolando Maran will again make changes to the line-up and will trust those who played against Belarus last Saturday.

It is not yet known whether Berisha or Sherri will be in goal, while in defence Hysaj and Pilo are believed to be starters.

Asllani is not in question, nor is Muçi; Uzuni has a chance, while Manaj is, as always, the centre-forward.

Arbër Hoxha could again start from the first minute, as could Ramadani in midfield.

Albania lead the group in Nations League C with 6 points to Finland’s 4, and a win would make first place highly likely, though a draw in Helsinki would also be a positive result.
