How Finland is doing
Finland comes into the match in third place in the group, with seven points, and needs points to remain in contention for promotion. The team suffered a 1-0 defeat to Belarus in the previous round, a result that complicated their situation in the standings.
Despite the setback, the Finns have good offensive numbers in the competition, with nine goals scored and only two conceded in four matches. The team has the best goal difference in the group, but is behind Belarus due to the head-to-head record.
Coached by Jacob Friis, the team has won only one of its last four matches, but managed to secure an important victory against Albania, 2-1, in the first round.
How Albania is doing
Albania arrives for the match leading their group in the Nations League, with nine points earned in four games. The Albanian team has won three of its last four matches in the competition and is looking for another positive result to secure promotion to League B.
In the previous round, the Albanians beat San Marino 2-1, with the decisive goal scored in the 48th minute of the second half from a penalty kick. Despite the positive result, the team struggled to convert their dominance into clear-cut chances.
Under Rolando Maran's command, the team has three wins and three losses in six matches. This recent performance represents an improvement compared to their previous run of five consecutive defeats.
