At a time when the match will be played at "Elbasan Arena", Elbasan police have taken a plan of action to ensure that the match is in progress.
Albania went to Euro 2016 after securing 14 points, but today, if wins over Andorra in Elbasan, the Albanian Reds can manage to break this record, as they are currently in the 12 point quota.
On the other hand, Kosovo is ready for the qualifying match against the Czech Republic. That's what coach Bernard Challandes said at a press conference the day before the challenge, as he acknowledged, among other things, that the absence of Muriqi was a minor problem for him but did not reveal the name of the player that will substitute him.
“Of course we are ready for this match and if it was not so we would stay in Pristina and not travel here. Muriqi's absence is a big problem, we do not have players who can replace Muriqi, but it is important to play as a team. It's my job to decide on the lineup but not to show who should play insted of Muriqi instead.” said Challandes.
Challandes acknowledged that the Czech victory over England made things a little trickier for his squad's European qualification.
"I can't say it was a surprise the win against the Czech Republic over England, at least not for me. I know the England is the strongest team in the group, but I also know the qualities of the Czech national team. Normally, the Czech victory has complicated our way to qualifying for the European Championship,” said the Kosovo coach.
