Fans Flock to Stadium for Albania vs. Israel
Albania and Israel face on Friday night in the UEFA League of Nations - with the only chance to climb to the top of Group B2.
Albanian fans have flocked to the stadium in order to follow their team and give support in this important match.
The two opening matches in this group with three teams have ended in a draw, opening the possibility for one of these teams to take full control with the victory in Tirana.
With Russia off the scene due to Vladimir Putin's military invasion of Ukraine, Albania, Israel and Iceland already know they will fight each other for the first place.
Albania draw with Iceland on Monday. Taulant Seferi's goal in the first half gave only one point as the match was equalized immediately after the break in Reykjavík.
As a result, coach Edi Reja has decided to make big changes by proposing a more offensive team against the Israelis, as public opinion has long demanded. But the changes start with the defense, as Kumbulla sits on the bench to make room for Veseli.
Meanwhile, Asllani and Bajrami will play in midfield alongside Abrashi, while the attack will consist of the duo Broja-Uzuni, who was absent in Iceland due to health problems.
