England vs Albania Prediction and Betting Tips (21.03.2025)

Command Analysis

England

Current form

The game of the England national team under the leadership of Gareth Southgate raised many questions, as everything was very boring and pragmatic, and it was impossible to get titles. After losing the final of the European Championship, this specialist was dismissed. In the League of Nations, the three Lions played under the leadership of the acting Lee Carsley. With him, the team returned to the A-League, won five of the six matches in its quartet. Thomas Tuchel has now been entrusted with leading the national team to new heights, who, if we recall his work in clubs, is also, in general, an adherent of pragmatic, result-oriented football.

Disqualifications and injuries

The England national team has a lot of injured players, although in general, of course, it is possible to replace each of the absentees without much loss in quality. Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Maguire, Saka, Shaw, Palmer, Mainu, Madueke will not play today due to injuries.

Interesting betting trends

England's winning streak currently stands at three matches, with at least three goals scored in each of them.
In three of the previous five matches, the British had drawn in the first half.

Approximate line–up: Pickford - Livramento, Gehey, Consa, Lewis–Skelly–Rice, Jones– Foden, Bellingham, Gordon- Kane.

Albania

Current form

The Albanian national team, in general, has made significant progress in recent years, we can recall, of course, that the team took first place in the qualifying group for the European Championship, ahead of the Czech Republic and Poland. However, it was not possible to make any noise at the continental championship itself – the last place in the quartet with one point scored. At the same time, the Albanians did not allow themselves outright failures – they lost with a one-goal difference to Italy and Spain, and they parted in peace with Croatia (2:2). In the League of Nations, the Albanian national team dropped to the C League, as it took the last place in its group, where the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Georgia played.

Disqualifications and injuries

Tuzi and Musolli will not play due to injuries. The exit to the Strakos field and the Bar is questionable. First of all, it is alarming that the main goalkeeper Tomas Strakosha may not play today due to muscle problems.

Interesting betting trends

Albania has won only one of the last five matches.
In the last 12 matches in the World Cup qualifiers, the Albanians have never drawn (six wins and six losses)

Tip and bets

1.82total less than three goals

England has not only the support of the stands, but also a huge advantage in class. Undoubtedly, the players will try to prove themselves under the guidance of the new coach, however, Thomas Tuchel is one of those specialists who relies on the result first of all, and not on the obligatory defeat of any opponent. Plus, Albania has recently noticeably improved in terms of the organization of the game, many players already have decent experience of confrontations with top European squads. We believe that it is not worth waiting for a large number of goals scored, the hosts will try to take three points in the class, and the guests will work reliably in defense.

Our betting tip is a total of less than three goals for a coefficient of 1.82
