Euro 2024 Qualifying | Moldova VS Albania; Saturday, 18 November at 01:00 GMT +8

Albania is set to face Moldova in Chișinău, with Moldova having never qualified for the European Championship in their history. Despite being ranked 171st in the FIFA world rankings, they have a good chance of qualifying for the tournament. Moldova travelled to Poland last month to make three wins in a row for the second time in nine games in all competitions. Despite a draw, they have one game in hand. Albania, on the other hand, is trying to qualify for the Euros for the second time in their history. They started their qualifying campaign with a defeat to Poland but have gone unbeaten with four wins and a draw.

Moldova’s head coach, Serghei Cleșcenco, has no injury concerns for Friday’s match against Albania, but two players, Dorian Railean and Oleg Reabciuk, are on the brink of suspension due to one yellow card each, having played in all six EURO 2024 qualifiers.

Albania’s head coach, Sylvinho, will be without Marash Kumbulla due to an injury sustained during surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament. The visitors’ squad will feature Flavio Sulejmani from Lazio U-19 and Simon Simoni from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Predicted lineups:

Goalkeeper: Dorian Railean
Defenders: Oleg Reabciuk, Denis Marandici, Vladyslav Babohlo, Artur Crăciun, Ioan-Călin Revenco
