Albania vs England Preview
Recent results
England’s 2-0 triumph over Serbia at Wembley on Thursday evening was their seventh consecutive win in Group K – and seventh consecutive clean sheet.
Tuchel’s men have barely needed to get out of first gear in these qualifiers, which is why they are one of the big favourites to win next summer’s World Cup.
As for Albania, a crucial 1-0 win over Andorra last time out has secured a play-off spot, with four points between them and Serbia ahead of the final matchday.
The Albanians are unbeaten in the previous six qualifiers (four wins, two draws) and their last defeat was actually against England back in March, the Three Lions winning that match 2-0 thanks to goals from Myles Lewis-Skelly and Harry Kane.
Head-to-head record
England have played Albania seven times in their history – and won all seven matches!
Furthermore, the Three Lions conceded only one goal in those fixtures, and that was way back in 2001.
Team news
England picked up no injury issues in the win over Serbia, so expect Tuchel to field a similar XI. Jude Bellingham could come in for Morgan Rogers, while Eberechi Eze is also pushing for a start following his goal at Wembley on Thursday.
As for Albania, their key men should all be available, including Armando Broja, Kristjan Asllani, Elseid Hysaj and Berat Djimsiti – who featured from the off vs Andorra.

Albania vs England Betting Tips
Anytime goalscorer – Marcus Rashford @ 2.75
While Rashford did not get on the scoresheet vs Serbia, he was a constant threat from the left and registered a couple of shots on target. So we fancy him to add another England goal to his collection in Tirana.
Both teams to score – No @ 1.77
We tipped Serbia to score at Wembley and end England’s run of clean sheets, but Jordan Pickford and his defenders made us look a little silly. So this time around, we are playing it safer!
Bet Builder: England to win, under 2.5 goals & Marcus Rashford to score anytime @ 8.50
This Bet Builder looks like an exceptional source of value. Defensively, Albania are very strong, evidenced by five clean sheets in the previous six qualifiers. Furthermore, all six of those games featured under 2.5 goals, as did the last meeting between these sides.
