Three Lions to Ease to Victory

England go up against Albania, Serbia, Latvia, and Andorra in World Cup qualifying. The English are the red-hot favourites to win the group and book their place in next year’s World Cup.

The Three Lions have only been beaten once since losing to Spain in the UEFA Euro 2024 final last summer. After suffering a shock home reverse to Greece in the UEFA Nations League, England bounced back with comfortable wins over Finland, Greece, and Republic of Ireland.

Albania head to London having won just two of nine. Their last success came against Georgia away from home in the Nations League in October. The Albanians were relegated from League B after taking just seven points from a possible 18.

Tuchel is hoping to get off to a flying start as England manager. The home side are the massive favourites at 1.14, while Albania are the huge underdogs at 18.00.

Recent England vs Albania Head-to-Head Results

The two met in World Cup qualifying for the 2022 tournament, with England winning home and away without conceding. Harry Kane and Mason Mount were on target in a 2-0 away victory for the Three Lions in March 2021.

England put on a five-start show at Wembley several months later. Kane scored a hat-trick, with Maguire and Jordan Henderson also netting in the 5-0 rout. The English have won all previous meetings with the Albanians.

England vs Albania Betting Tips & Predictions

Tuchel’s new-look England team could be too hot for Albania to handle at Wembley. The hosts should prevail by a margin, and we like the look of 1.81 for England to win -2.

England have only conceded once against Bulgaria and have won the last three to nil. Back the home team to keep a clean sheet in this one at 1.49.
