Latest information on the Albania vs Czech Republic match lineups.
Albania faced squad difficulties ahead of their match against the Czech Republic. Striker Ernest Muci suffered a foot injury, leaving his availability uncertain. Armando Broja and Rey Manaj remained absent, forcing coach Sylvinho to choose between Indrit Tuci and Mirlind Daku for the striker position.
The defense is also weakened by injuries to Marash Kumbulla and Berat Djimsiti. However, Albania still has important players such as Elseid Hysaj (Lazio), Kristjan Asllani (Inter Milan), and Nedim Bajrami (Rangers).
The Czech Republic are in a similar predicament, with Patrik Schick continuing his absence due to injury and a conflict with the manager. The team is missing three defenders and midfielder Lukas Kalvach ahead of the match. Tomas Chory, who scored the winning goal in the first leg, will lead the attack alongside Vaclav Cerny, Bajrami's teammate at Rangers.

Latest football match prediction: Albania vs Czech Republic
After a 2-1 victory against Ukraine, Albania failed to maintain their form, losing to Georgia and the Czech Republic. However, they concluded their October training camp with a 1-0 win against Georgia thanks to a goal from Kristjan Asllani. Albania now has six points, one point behind the Czech Republic and only two points ahead of Ukraine, ensuring their fate will be decided in the final match. With two matches in Tirana, Albania hopes to secure second place, thereby earning a play-off spot for promotion.
Promotion to League A and competition with strong European teams would be a major step forward for Albanian football, although the risk of relegation to League C cannot be completely ruled out.
The Czech Republic also recovered their spirits after an early exit from Euro 2024. They started strongly with a 3-2 victory over Ukraine. In October, Ivan Hasek's side earned four points, including a 2-0 win against Albania, where Tomas Chory scored a brace, and a 1-1 draw with Ukraine. After being relegated from League A, their sole objective is to return to the top group. If they win on Saturday and Georgia loses to Ukraine, the Czech Republic will be firmly at the top of the group.
