The latest odds highlight Albania at 1.20, Andorra at 15.00, and a draw at 5.50. Albania sits 2nd in their group with 5 points from 4 matches, while Andorra is last with 0 points and an -8 goal difference.

Albania’s main strength is their sharp attack, especially through Rey Manaj and Myrto Uzuni. Their defense is solid, conceding just 1 goal per game lately. They struggle, though, with breaking ultra-defensive teams. Andorra, meanwhile, play with spirit and discipline at home, but rarely threaten in attack—they average less than one shot on target per match. Albania has no major injuries, while Andorra may be without a key midfielder due to suspension. Key storylines: Can Andorra nab a surprise point? Will Albania boost their goal difference for group position? Or will this be a one-way contest?

Fans should expect Albania to push forward from the start. If Andorra can hold firm early, the match might stay close—but an Albanian win looks likely.
