The Israeli national team will host Albania tonight (Saturday, 9:45 p.m.) for a game in which a victory will guarantee the home title and qualification for the playoffs for promotion to the European Championship.
Bloomfield Stadium is expected to be filled with about 30,000 spectators, something that hasn't happened in a long time, certainly not against a team of Albania's caliber.
"The crowd is back and there is faith in the team. We want to bring everyone home happy and proud, certainly before Rosh Hashanah," said the team and added: "You have to give your soul because the Albanians are not suckers. They have players from Rome, Chelsea, Brentford and other strong teams in Europe ".

While the Albanians will arrive with almost all their stars, Alon Hazan's squad is sorely lacking.
Manor Solomon, who scored a brace in Tirana in a 1:2 victory, is injured and absent.
Monas Davor Peresh, Eran Zahavi and Paresh Hadar left the Maccabi Tel Aviv striker out, while Dor Peretz was also not called up.
"The changes from the previous games are big, but whoever is here can make a difference and win, that's exactly how great players are born," said the professional team to the players, with a clear message to those who will get a chance and start in the lineup.
Ramsey Spurry was injured in training yesterday and was removed from the squad.
This is a blow to the team, as there is no other player in his position.
The tendency is to start with Gabi Kanikovsky from Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Estimated line-up:
Omri Glazer, Eli Desa, Miguel Vitor, Shawn Goldberg, Doron Leidner, Aden Kartsev, Beavers Natcho (Dan Glazer), Gabi Kanikovski, Dolev Haziza, Liel Abda, Shawn Weissman
