Looking forward to this match. It should be a lot of fun.

Albania 4-1 Austria

Is Avdijaj called up yet? Will Kace play? What about Rashica? Or will we see some superliga scrubs instead?

I'm pretty sure were gonna treat this like a World Cup final while Austria will be experimenting with tactics and alternating players. Final result 1-1 draw.

This should be a good test to prepare us against Switzerland. I don't think Rashica will be available, someone here said he'll be with the U-21 against Greece and be called up for senior team against Luxembourg. This would also be a good time to try Lenjani as a pure attacking LB and try do develop some system where we can attack through the left(Xhaka or Abrashi provides defensive coverage on the left flank)

The last game Kaçe started, the France match, was probably the best we have played under De Biasi. He was awsome, found Lenjani countless times. I really think he is the best Albanian player, a great mix of technical quality and aggressive high work rate. I hope De Biasi starts him at the Euros. https://youtu.be/wP-GmNimk6E

Rashica will play the Luxemburg game.

De Biasi always the last manager to announce his team. It's getting really annoying now, every other team does it like 2 weeks in advance.

Announce it already!

The list will be announced on the 21st. Yeah it is kinda annoying but no new names are expected besides Rashica for Luxembourg.

I don't know why Rrahmani and Meha were not called up, Both were in good form.

I like the list and i'm glad Rashica makes the team at least for the friendly althrough he should be there at the euro's too.
