Game Preview
Tuchel now has a tough yet tempting task—to win some trophies with England. This unit has everything he likes: strong defense, fast counter-attack, and physical players.
The Three Lions won five of the past six events since the 2024 EURO ended. All of them were in the UEFA Nations League, where this team dominated its group.
Albania can’t count on several injured starters. Mario Mitaj, Mirling Daku, Taulant Seferi, and Keidi Bare are all out for this event, which will be a great blow to their manager, Sylvinho.
The Albanians have not scored in three of the last five games. Their defense is pretty unstable, while midfield relies on physicality, as they have no creative players. Also, four of the last five events they played saw just one side netting, or NG as some would say.
England vs. Albania Head to Head
Four years ago, the two sides also met in the World Cup qualifiers. England won both legs without conceding a goal, 5-0 at Wembley and 0-2 on the road.
England vs. Albania Predictions
This should be easy for England, and we believe they will win without any problems. Furthermore, our betting pick for this World Cup qualifier is for Albion to win by at least a two-goal margin.
