Almost impossible, but the National Team can dream! The scenario as the Rossoneri remain in the second pot

Almost impossible, but the National Team can dream! The scenario as the

Teams like Wales, Romania and Ukraine are fighting for second place in their group. If at least one of them makes it through the World Cup qualifiers, then Albania automatically moves to pot three for the play-off draw.

"Panorama Sport" brings you an overview of the current situation. Silvinho's red and blacks are currently the ones who close the second pot, but nothing is easy. Moreover, the accounts depend on the group of opponents. Iceland, North Macedonia, Bosnia and perhaps Ireland, are the representatives who would come to their aid. It must be said that they are not favorites in their groups, which is why Albania is projected by everyone as the third pot.

Albania must play two play-off matches to secure qualification for the World Cup. The first will be a semi-final, while only if Albania is in the second pot will it be played at the "Air Albania" stadium.

Wales must not win by more than 5 goals today to keep the score open. North Macedonia are looking to escape the fourth pot, but nothing is guaranteed and they currently hold second place in the group. A position that if they maintain, will send them to the third pot.

Iceland should not lose this match. Only then would Ukraine not be included in the first pot, changing the ranking for the other representatives as well. Iceland is below Albania in the FIFA rankings, so it does not pose a risk.

If Wales do not win by more than 5 goals against Liechtenstein, North Macedonia will need a draw away to retain second place. Otherwise, they must win in the final scheduled for next week.

Bosnia and Herzegovina – Romania

Bosnia Herzegovina and Romania are fighting for second place in the group. Currently, Bosnia has 3 points more, while today they play a direct challenge together. Only a victory calms Bosnia, as with any other result it would be in danger. This is because Romania, with 3 points less, plays the last challenge with San Marino, while Bosnia faces Austria. If Romania takes second place, it will also be positioned in the second pot. For this, the Rossoneri are on Bosnia's side.

*ANOTHER SCENARIO THAT COULD HELP ALBANIA

Both teams will play a final together tomorrow. Albania would have the advantage of Ireland's victory over Hungary, as the Hungarians are assured of at least the second pot. Ireland, however, has won against Portugal and there is a possibility that it will surpass Albania in the FIFA rankings and consequently in the pot, for this reason the Albania-England challenge has great weight for the final calculations.
