Albania Team News

In the last competitive match, Albania defeated Poland at home 2:0. They took the lead in the 37th minute through Jasir Asani assisted by Elseid Hysaj, and doubled their advantage in the 62nd minute with Mirlind Daku’s goal, which was successfully played by Ylber Ramadani. Until the end of the match, the result remained unchanged.

They currently occupy the first position in the table with 10 points won, two more than Moldova, which is in third place. In the previous part of the qualifications, they registered three wins a draw, and a loss.

Albania is likely to be without stopper Ardian Ismajli, who is sidelined with a knee injury, meaning Frederic Veseli could take up a position in defense, alongside Berat Djimsiti.

Marash Kumbulla remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury, so the AS Roma defender will not be involved, but Sylvinho otherwise has a fully prepared squad for Thursday night’s selection.

Czech Republic Team News

The Czech Republic had a free appointment in the previous round, and they played a friendly match against Hungary away from home and drew 1:1. The home team took the lead in the 52nd minute, and the visitors equalized eleven minutes later, when Mojmir Chytil played past Vaclav Jurecka, and he put the ball into the net.

In the group phase of the qualification, they recorded two wins and two losses, and in the meantime they also played two friendly matches, recording a triumph and a draw. They currently occupy the second position in the table with eight points won, two less than their next rival Albania, but also a game less.

In terms of injured players, Alex Kral is struggling with a leg injury, meaning Michal Sadílek could get a chance in midfield, alongside captain Tomas Soucek.

Jindrich Stanek is out with a concussion, so Jiri Pavlenka looks set to keep his place between the posts, while Patrik Schick’s injury means Adam Hložek could lead the visitors’ attack.
