Our Predictions
England have won every group game, including a recent 2-0 win over Albania. They’ve scored 20 and conceded 0 in qualifying while Albania have a modest attack and lost all H2H clashes. England’s top talent and motivation for a perfect record make them favorites at 1.42.
Six of Albania’s last seven matches produced under 2.5 goals. Albania’s defense is tighter at home, and England may manage the game for a professional win. Under 2.5 stands out at odds of 2.00.
England have yet to concede in qualifying, while Albania’s last five wins include four 1-0s. England’s defense is organized; Albania may struggle to break through, so odds of 1.70 on ‘No’ offer smart value.
