Preview
Albania and Norway face at Elbasan Arena, in a friendly match. This is the first friendly match of the year for Albania. As for Norway, this is the 2nd friendly match of the year, after the previous friendly match against Australia. There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 07‑06‑2013, the match ended with the final score: Albania (1‑1) Norway. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Albania

The home team plays its first friendly match of the year, after having played 3 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: Turkey (2‑3) Albania, Luxembourg (2‑1) Albania and Albania (1‑2) Bosnia‑Herzegovina. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got an away win against Turkey by (2‑3). In the last 10 home matches Albania has won 3, tied 1 and lost 6. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Albanian national team comes for this match after an unexpected triumph against Turkey, by 2-3, returning to triumphs after three straight matches without a win. In this match, it’s expectable that the coach Christian Panucci will play in 4-2-3-1 benefiting the low block and the direct balls to the attack. Defensive midfielder Xhaka continues to be the highlight of this team, being fundamental in the defensive balance of the team. For this match, the coach won’t count on Mavraj and Prenga, both injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Thomas Strakosha, Elseid Hysaj, Naser Aliji, Mërgim Mavraj, Arlind Ajeti, Odise Roshi, Taulant Xhaka, Ylber Ramadani, Kamer Qaka, Armando Sadiku, Eros Grezda.

Analysis Norway

The away team plays its 2nd friendly match of the year, after having faced Australia, in a friendly that ended with the final score: Norway (4‑1) Australia. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 11 conceded. In the last 9 away matches Norway has won 1 and lost 8. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Norway comes for this match after a 4-1 win at home against Australia, returning to triumphs after two consecutive defeats, both in friendly matches. Usually, the coach Lars Lagerbäck plays in 4-4-2, benefiting from ball possession and slow attacks, especially through the flanks: Kamara is a very fast and excellent player in the offensive transition. For this match, the coach of Norway must count on the same players of the last match.

Confirmed Lineup: Ørjan Nyland, Jonas Svensson, Birger Meling, Håvard Nordtveit, Kristoffer Ajer, Markus Henriksen, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Stefan Johansen, Martin Ødegaard, Bjorn Johnsen, Tarik Elyounoussi.
