At the media conference prior to this match, the Finnish coach has said his team is aiming for victory, with which he would keep alive hopes of completing the group in first place.

This fight is like a final for us. We respect our opponent and hope to be a beautiful challenge. But we want to win and guarantee first place in the group. We know it won’t be easy, even because of the support of the fans, but we’re well prepared, Friiss has declared.

Finland will face Albania on Wednesday, at 20:45, at the Air Albania Stadium in Tirana.

The Finnishs come to this confrontation after two disappointing results of Belarus, which have made it difficult for them to climb to League B. They currently rank third in the group.

However, Friis’s team could count on victory 2:1 over Albania in the first match, held in October. In that confrontation, the reds played with a footballer less than in the first part, after a red card.

Albania leads the group, followed by Belarus and Finland. Only the winner of the group provides direct promotion to League B, while the team ending up in second place will play at ‘{0}’lay-off for promotion or survival.
