Albania hosts England in round 2 of the World Cup Qualification. The match will be played on Sunday, March 28th at Loro-Boriçi Stadium (Shkoder)
Albania took part in Euro 2016. And now, under the management of Edoardo Reja, the Eagles show a desire to return to that level. Last year, the Albanians were able to win their Nations League group, gaining 11 points and outranking Belarus (which was one point behind), Lithuania, and Kazakhstan. In the new cycle, they managed to extend the winning streak with an away victory. However, do not forget that the Albanians dealt with one of the weakest teams on the continent, Andorra, and Lenjani scored the only goal before the break. On the other hand, the Eagles are good when they can play defense first. There was no such chance on March 25th, but it will appear in the upcoming match.

England also played its first qualification match on Thursday. But probably the weakest of all possible opponents in Europe came to Wembley, namely, San Marino. And the Three Lions turned out to be quite complacent and hospitable, limiting themselves to only five unanswered goals - even Russia managed to score more not so long ago. Let’s note Calvert-Lewin’s double and the goal scored by the newcomer, Ollie Watkins. But for Gareth Southgate's charges, it was something even less difficult than regular training. In Shkoder, they will certainly be favorites as well. But not against such toothless outsiders - will the coaching staff be able to convince their players that they will have to fight for three points seriously? However, the class of all the players is significantly higher, and the attacking group is one of the best in the current world football.
So far, the British have one hundred percent figure - all four head-to-head matches ended with their victories. Moreover, having conceded 12 goals, the Albanians were able to respond with only one ball in return. Of course, Albania is much stronger than San Marino but noticeably inferior to England. We think the visitors will manage to gain a confident victory.
Prediction for the match: England to win with -1.5 handicap
