Albania went top of the group G table on Thursday night as they defeated Liechtenstein 0-2. They are now top of the table with 6 points and they will be preparing to host Spain at home on Sunday night.
Albania continued their good start in the World Cup qualifiers campaign, as they made it 2 wins from 2 on Thursday. P. Jehle’s own goals in the 11th minute and B. Balaj’s winning goal in the 71st minute was enough to take them top of the group G. Now they will fight for a win in this fixture to maintain an excellent record in the group.
Spain played out a 1-1 draw away at Italy on Thursday, they are currently on the second position wth 4 points. Spain are just 2 points behind Albania and on same point with Italy in the 3rd position. Spain will aim for a win in this game to take them to the top of the group.
Spain have an excellent record against Albania in their previous games, they have won all their previous 5 meetings. The Spanish side have scored 24 goals against Albania and conceded just 2. The two teams played in September 1993.
Despite Albania’s excellent form, Spain are still huge favourites in this game. Both teams are in an unbeaten run of form, and have a good scoring form too.
Albania have now won 3 of their last 5 games and drawn 1 while Spain have n 2 of their last 5 games and drawn 1.
Both teams are on 3 game unbeaten run since after the Euro Championship with two wins and 1 draw. They have both kept 2 clean sheets in their last 3 games and scored at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 games.
I expect a win from Spain in this one, also I expect Spain to keep a clean sheet
