Our Prediction for Albania vs England
Albania qualified for last year’s Euros and have shown a decent level of play this cycle. They weren’t able to challenge the group favorite, but their 0-2 defeat to England in the opening round remains their only loss.
Even better, they collected four points against Serbia, their neighbor and main rival, solidifying their hold on second place 🟢.
England started the year under new manager Tuchel. The team comfortably handled qualification, securing a perfect record in the qualifiers and booking their World Cup spot as early as October.
In the previous round, Sylvinho’s men faced the group outsider Andorra, winning 1-0 with a late goal in the 67th minute. Even with qualification already sealed, England hosted Serbia and produced another clinical 2-0 victory.
