Albania will play its last two World Cup qualifying matches in November, facing Andorra and England.
The victory achieved in Leskovac a few days ago has already raised hopes that the Rossoneri can reach the World Cup Play Offs for the first time in history. To do this, Albania must maintain second place, which it can achieve, as it currently sees itself 1 point ahead of Serbia, while both teams still have two games to play.
Albania will first face Andorra and then England, while Serbia will first have the transfer to England, and then will host Latvia at home. Below are the scenarios on how Albania can maintain second place, writes "Panorama Sport".
2 wins - Albania will play two matches and if the Rossoneri manage to win against Andorra and England, then they would be qualified for the "Play Off" phase, regardless of how Serbia's matches turn out. If both teams win their matches, then Albania would go to the quota of 17 points, against Serbia's 16 points, which means qualification from second place.
1 win - The Reds have a real chance of finishing second even if they only win the match against Andorra. To achieve something like that, England must do their job, winning against Serbia and Albania. Something like that would not change the fate of the group, as the teams would still have a difference of 1 point.
No win - If the Rossoneri fail to win at least against Andorra, then the chances of reaching the World Cup would be almost impossible. This is due to the fact that Serbia plays one of the matches at home, namely against Latvia. The Serbs have won the first match in Latvia and of course, in front of the fans they are not expected to make a wrong step, so the victory in the Andorra transfer is undoubtedly an obligation for the Rossoneri to continue with the dream.
Draws - If Albania draws in both matches, it would go to the quota of 13 points, as much as Serbia can achieve with a victory over Latvia. In this case, the goal difference would come into play and the Rossoneri currently have a better goal difference. The only thing Albania hopes for is that in the Serbia-Latvia match, the Serbs do not win by many goals and if they do, then they must hope to concede as many as possible in England. Currently, Albania has a goal difference of +3, scoring 6 goals and conceding 3 others. On the other hand, Serbia has a goal difference of 0, having scored 7 goals and conceded 7.
