Today is the match against Latvia, how is the national team expected to line up?

The Albanian national team held its official training session at the "Skonto" stadium in Riga on Monday afternoon.

The national team will play tonight, at 20:45 local time in Albania, against Latvia in the fourth match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Given the absence of Gjimshiti and the burden of Ajeti, who is injured, logic leads to Kumbulla and Ismajli being the central defense duo. They played together in the Nations League. On the left, Mario Mitaj is expected to start again from the start, while on the right wing, it could be Balliu's turn.

A new midfield with Asllan and Shehu seems to have won Silvinho's heart. He trusted him against Serbia and, if Shehu has no concerns, he will be back from the first minute.

Assessing the situation of Qazim Laçi, it could be either him or Nedim Bajrami in that position, since more creative skills are needed. On the right wing, Broja is considered and up front Manaj or Daku. On the other side, Hoxha or Muçi, although the latter has not been preferred by Silvinjo for a single minute in the last two matches of the National Team.
