Nah, they'll be alright. Lithuania's entire squad is worth 6 mill. They're at best a Superliga level team.

Let's hope Broja and Cepele both get 45 mins each.

Andorra is worth 1 million and they got a 2-2 draw in Albania a few months back.

The attack scares me. Cikalleshi scored a nice goal but he wasn't moving well. Manaj looked terrible. Balaj is Balaj...

When the gap in quality is big enough, you don't really have to worry about attack, because even defenders like Hysaj or midfielders like Bare became attacking threats.

The problem is against top teams, where we actually have to rely on Cika & friends.

Odds had Albania at 2.5 to win first half and 2 to win all now dropping ... almost guaranteed money.

Yeah honestly you can probably make great money by just betting your gut on Albania every game. We've watched them so much we can predict almost every game correctly

We’re the tier above everyone in this group . 6 wins is the only acceptable outcome

Even Israel are in Group B, and we're better than Israel. We shouldn't be in Group C, it's a mismatch

Although Israel has a lower market value than us, I wouldn’t go as far as to say we’re better than them. When we first played them in nations league at home(1-0 win), the odds pregame were pretty even.

Before the second time we played them away(2-0 loss), they were pretty good favorites to beat us somewhere in the -350 range(draw no bet)

We're definitely better than Israel. When you compare our players to theirs its no question and especially when their best player plays in China.

Unfortunately, the oddsmaker doesn’t believe that and the results say otherwise as well. We came last in that group with Israel and Scotland.

We'll always struggle against any team that isn't a bottom feeder because our managers refuses to drop Balaj and Cikaleshi. We're playing with 9 men, those two are in the lineup as both are useless. They need five good chances to put a goal in. Both aren't technical, both have no finishing ability, both have no pace, both don't even provide anything defensively. A guy like Manaj may be a scrub but he's atleast a pitbull who works really hard defensively.

Also the team hasn't had any balance what so ever in the lineup. No pace on the wings for counter attacking and to relieve pressure on the backline. We don't press anymore and we sit back inviting pressure. We just try long balls now.

But the coach won't drop them, the assistant trainers (like Salihi, Bushi, etc) are good friends with Cika/Balaj, the media sucks them off after they score a tap in against the likes of Andorra.

But that being said we'll easily beat Lithuania. Balaj will score a tap in. We'll get a late penalty to make it 2 - 0. Half the players called up won't even get a look.

Greece is practically playing with a B team. Shame if they lose to this team.
