Albania start off their mission for a spot in the 2024 European Title when they take on Poland at PGE Narodowy on Monday.
Sylvinho’s team will be looking to beat the host nation and start their campaign on a high note after losing the previous seven meetings.
As a result of Poland’s 3-1 defeat to the Czech Republic in Friday’s Group E opener, newly appointed manager Fernando Santos did not get off to a winning start.
The White-Reds have now lost three matches in a row, beginning with a 2-0 defeat to Argentina in the FIFA World Cup group stage match in November of last year.
Krzysztof Piatek’s late goal gave Poland a 1-0 victory over Chile in their previous match on November 16. Poland is now playing on their own turf.
In the meantime, Albania will be trying to make up for their poor performance in the UEFA Nations League last year, when they won just two points from four games in League B. However, we can expect a little sloppiness from Sylvinho’s team, whose last game was in November, when they beat Armenia 2-0 to end their nine-game losing streak in friendly matches.
Albania have likewise neglected to win their last five away matches in all contests, losing three and guaranteeing two draws since a 1-0 triumph over Hungary in October 2021.

Poland vs Albania Team News :
Poland’s current generation has consistently advanced to major competitions, but their best performance came in Qatar last year, when they finally advanced past the group stages. Poland’s new cycle got off to a bad start when they lost to Czech Republic in the first round; therefore, their matchup with Albania is very important.
In the meantime, injuries prevented Bartosz Bereszynski and Kamil Piatkowski from remaining with the team during this international window, and Matty Cash and Kacper Kozlowski left the team after becoming injured in the interim.
Albania has only once been to the Euro Championships before, in 2016, when they were eliminated after the group stages. They will now attempt to do so again in a group that appears to be a little weaker than the others, with Poland and the Czech Republic being the most likely candidates. Albania was free in the primary round, so their new administrator Sylvinho will make his presentation in this match.
In terms of team news, Armando Broja is out for Albania because of an injury. Additionally, Ardian Ismajli was ultimately forced to withdraw from the team due to an injury.
