Albania VS Finland

Riding on their recent uptick in form, Albania currently rank 66th in the global FIFA standings. Their last Nations League home fixture ended in a narrow 2-1 win over San Marino, snapping their two-game losing skid. With three wins from four group matches so far, they sit top of the group table, holding a solid shot at securing promotion to a higher tier. The side boasts a relatively balanced attack and defense, though their current goals for and against stats are both inferior to their upcoming opponent Finland. They are set to field a near full-strength squad for this tie, but multiple first-team players are carrying yellow cards, which will force them to play with extra caution to avoid suspensions in subsequent matches.
