The Reds held their final training session in Andorra, where they tested some of the tactical schemes expected to be used in today's match.

Thomas Strakosha will be in goal, while the defense four consists of Elseid Hysaj on the right, Mario Mitaj on the left, and the duo Berat Gjimshiti with Arlind Ajeti in the center.

Kristjan Asllani and Julian Shehu are expected to play in midfield, while the third place in this division will be decided between Qazim Laçi and Medon Berisha, who are in the runoff for a starting jersey.

In attack, Silvinjo is expected to place Manaj in the center, with Armando Broja on the right, while for the left wing, the competition remains open between Myrto Uzun and Arbër Hoxha.

The team has prepared in optimal conditions and the atmosphere in the group is seen as positive, with players motivated to achieve the right result.

For today's match, UEFA has confirmed that the match will be refereed by a trio of Romanian referees.

The main one will be Fesni?, helped by assistants Avram and Serei.

The result of this match is essential for Albania's performance in the group, as a victory over Andorra, combined with a loss by Serbia to England, could mathematically secure the Rossoneri second place and participation in the World Cup play-off phase.

The national team seeks to close the qualification issue in this match, to avoid the pressure of the final challenge against England at "Air Albania".
