England vs Albania Prediction 21 March 2025
Added on 19 March, 2025
England and Albania will kick off their World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign next Friday.
The Three Lions have been among Europe’s top sides in recent years, securing two European Championship silver medals and reaching the quarterfinals in their last World Cup appearance. Last fall, they demonstrated their quality with a pair of away wins over Greece (1:2, 3:0) and dominant performances against Ireland (2:0, 5:0) and Finland (2:0, 3:1).
Albania, meanwhile, has had inconsistent results, splitting wins with Ukraine (2:1, 1:2), Georgia (0:1, 1:0), and struggling against the Czech Republic (0:2, 0:0). Their Nations League campaign ended with a fourth-place finish in their group, leading to relegation to Division C.
The gulf in class between these sides is undeniable, and with England eager to impress under their new coach, they are strong favorites. A comfortable home victory, likely without conceding, seems the most probable outcome.
