Albania to Win

Albania and Latvia shared the points when the sides met back in June, but Albania should have taken more from the game and should be able to press home their advantage here. They had more shots (13-7), possession (66%-34%) and corners (9-6) than Latvia last time out.

Albania have avoided defeat in three of their four qualifying matches so far. This defeat came against England, who pretty much have a free run to top the group now, so Albania have remained competitive against the sides that they need to overcome to get out of this group. 

Their 0-0 draw against Serbia was crucial, but they’ll need to make the most of the opportunity in front of them here, with Serbia taking on England at the same time as this game.

Over 4.5 Albania Corners

Albania racked up nine corners in their 1-1 draw with Latvia when the sides met in June. Albania had 66% of the ball on that occasion and we can expect them to post a similar stat as the home side this time around - which should lead to a strong corner count again.

Albania also had four corners in their 0-0 draw with Serbia at home. I can see them improving on that record here, going up against weaker opposition."

Over 1.5 Goals

There were two goals in the meeting between these sides back in June, with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

Albania could end up covering this line on their own and they may be forced into that eventuality, as Latvia managed to carve out an xG of 1.11 in their 1-1 draw with Albania a few months ago.

🔴 Albania Must Take their Opportunity

Albania have a real opportunity here in an interesting group. England will almost certainly finish top having won all four of their qualifying games so far, Serbia could change that with a surprise result on Tuesday evening, but it would take a real disaster for England to fall from their perch.

This leaves Albania, Serbia and Latvia fighting for one spot, with Andorra already cut adrift. Albania could banish Latvia from that conversation with a win in this game, making it even more of an important game for Albania. I do think Albania will be able to get all three points here and set up a straight shootout with Serbia for second place in Group K.

Latvia Lacking Quality

Latvia have only managed to win one of their four qualifying matches so far, with this victory coming against Andorra who have lost all five of their games in Group K, conceding 10 goals across these games - without scoring themselves.

It’s fair to say that Latvia are the second weakest side in the group, so Albania must see this as a real opportunity to secure their grip on the group and look ahead to their games against England and Serbia.


📊 Albania v Latvia H2H

The sides contested a 1-1 draw when they met back in June, Latvia notched 1.11xG on that occasion, but Albania has more shots (13-7), possession (66%-34%) and corners (9-6).
