England vs Albania prediction

While the Nations League hosts its play-offs this week the week is capped with with the start of the World Cup qualifiers for other nations.

England are the strong favourites in Group K amongst Andorra, Latvia, Serbia and Albania.

This is usually the time where lots of changes can be made, formations and squad selections tried and tested ahead of more pressing tournaments next year.

Thomas Tuchel will be keen to get off to a solid start with a home clash against Albania an interesting one.

England have won six of their six games against the national side, including by 9-0 on aggregate over the last three contests, each in the WC qualifiers.

The Three Lions beat them 5-0 here in 2021 for a similar clash and that could be a similar score line now.

England vs Albania betting tips

Tuchel’s squad selection has come under a lot of scrutiny but in most cases, they always do.

It looks a solid enough team for this Albania clash where the likes of Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham can continue being integral parts of the side.

Kane is on fire for Bayern Munich and constantly scores to keep his consistency in tact.

The same can be said for his England career and so he has to be added to the betting here.

He’s always determined to keep scoring for his national side and be involved in these group games no matter the competition or opponent.

Other inclusions to be made in the betting will depend on the starting lineup but should also involve a strong defensive set up, a few goals and a potential for some big England caps from players eager to impress.
