Euro 2011 Qualifier : Albania Vs France Today At 8.00pm by mukina2: 11:57am On Sep 02, 2011 |
PROBABLE LINE-UPS Albania: Beqaj; Vangjeli, Lila, Curri, Dalku; Bulku, Cana, Lala, Hyka; Bogdani, Kapllani France (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Sagna, Abidal, Kaboul, Evra; M’Vila, Nasri; Malouda, Martin, Ribery; Benzema Albania Albania boss Josip Koze has former Marseille captain Lorik Cana in the side, with joint top scorer Erjon Bogdani also looking to shock the Group D leaders. The side will be looking to build on August's 3-2 win over Montenegro. France France boss Laurent Blanc faces a selection headache, especially in defence. PSG starlet Mamadou Sakho is injured and misses out altogether and Adil Rami is suspended for the tie in Albania. Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny has also picked up a back strain and is doubtful to start, with the pairing of Barcelona's Eric Abidal and Tottenham's Younes Kaboul expected to play in front of Hugo Lloris. Marseille's Mathieu Valbuena and Bayern's Franck Ribery have been recalled to the side after they missed last month's friendly against Chile. Kevin Gameiro, who has four goals for PSG already this season could also feature up front. Marvin Martin's Les Bleus participation is expected to continue in the playmaker role after injuries to Yoann Gourcuff as well as Abou Diaby in midfield. DID YOU KNOW? Albania beat Montenegro 3-2 in the August round of friendly internationals. In June, they were beaten by Argentina 4-0. Josip Kuze's men, ranked 50th in the world are fourth in Group D, five points behind France and four behind Belarus in second. The Eastern Europeans have played in only one European Championships in 1962. At the age of 34, Erjon Bogdani is the joint leading scorer with the national team, netting 14 times in 60 appearances. France are Group D leaders with 13 points, and can take a huge step in claiming a Euro 2012 place with victory in Albania on Friday evening. Les Bleus are unbeaten since succumbing to a surprise 1-0 defeat to Belarus almost a year ago. Laurent Blanc's men were held to a 1-1 draw with Chile in Montpellier in August. Loic Remy grabbed the goal for Europeans. The two nations have met only twice before. In European Championship qualifying for the 1992 tournament, Les Bleus recorded a resounding 5-0 home win, before winning 1-0 in the return game. Match |
