Albania take on the visitors Italy in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 16th.
Albania have to their credit the performance at the Euro. In 2016, by the way, under the leadership of the Italian, Gianni de Biazi, the team played in the continental tournament, and even managed to win in the last round over Romania. It is impossible to repeat something like this. But under the current coach, Edoardo Rey, there were good results, defeating not only San Marino and Andorra, but also Hungary in the qualification (although in the League of Nations, already this year, they tied in both matches with Iceland, and lost twice to Israel ). It is worth remembering that the Eagles, despite the fact that they are usually perceived as a maximum as modest but stubborn fighter, have such players as Berisha, Hyusay, Jimsiti, Ismaily, Kumbulla, Bayrami, Asllani playing in Spain, Balliu, Bare and Uzuni. But there is also Strakosha, Manai, Tsikaleshi and, most importantly, Broja from Chelsea.

Italy arranged extremely conflicting emotions for their fans. It all started 5 years ago, with a defeat in the playoffs to the Swedes - because of this, the giant did not go to Russia, to the World Cup. But it was after this that Roberto Mancini came. And the ex-coach Inter and Manchester City, it seemed, was able to radically change everything, crowning the progress with a victory at last year's Euro ... But then new failures began. And okay, the failure in the "home" League of Nations - after all, last autumn they lost the dispute for 1st place in the Swiss qualifications - Jorginho will forever reproach himself because of the missed penalties in head-to-head confrontations. Moreover, in March, Squadra Azzurra again hit the rock bottom, when they lost to North Macedonia in the first play-off at home. And only in the fall, due to the final spurt and thanks to the misfires of competitors, the Italians were able to sweeten the pill a little for their fans by winning the group of the League of Nations. But there were not only Hungarians, but also England and Germany. As usual, the coaching staff called potential debutants to the training camp, up to 16-year-old Pafundi from Udinese. Note that Ivan Provedel can also play for the first time, who became No. 1 in Lazio this season.
The national teams played three head-to-heads, including as part of the selection for the 2018 World Cup. All times modestly, but with clean sheets, 1-0 or 2-0, Italy managed to win. Bookmakers believe that Italy will easily win on the neighbor's field. The class of the visitors is higher - we take a bet on Squadra Azzurra with a handicap of "-1 goal scored".
Prediction for the match: Italy to win.
