Albania vs Spain Prediction, Betting Tips & Preview – Euro 2024

Albania and Spain will face off in their third and final Group B match at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf, on the 24th of June, at 8pm (GMT). Under the guidance of coach Sylvinho, Albania managed to top their qualifying group. The squad consists of key players like Myrto Uzuni and Chelsea’s striker Armando Broja, who are crucial to Albania’s attack, while captain Elseid Hysaj provides leadership at the back. Sylvinho’s 4-3-3 setup provides a fluid midfield that contributes to the defensive strategy, but also allows them to launch quick counterattacks which worked nicely against Poland, where they claimed a 2-0 victory and then beat Czech Republic 3-0. On the other side, Spain who are one of the favourites to win this competition, also utilise a 4-3-3 formation which focuses on maintaining possession and plays out wide. With a team consisting of world-class striker and captain Alvaro Morata, alongside Gavi, Pedri, and Rodri in midfield, a trio perfectly capable of controlling the tempo and breaking down defences. Spain have proven their position as one of the top teams to lift this years trophy after showcasing a dominating qualifying campaign, with notable thrashings over Georgia 7-1, and Cyprus 6-0. Keep reading as we delve deeper into how this game might play out. We’ll also provide our top betting tips for this interesting matchup.

Albania vs Spain Betting Tips

Bettors could look at handicapping Spain -1 due to their recent form and higher-calibre squad. Although Albania demonstrated defensive solidity during their qualifying campaign, having conceded just four goals in eight games, they are yet to face a top-tier team like Spain who are adept at breaking down even the toughest defences, evidenced by their twenty-two goals in eight qualifying matches. Albania also lost 3-0 in a recent friendly against low-ranked Chile, indicting vulnerabilities in their defence. Alvaro Morata could be a likely candidate to score after finding the net seven times in the qualifiers. We also suspect Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo will fancy their chances at scoring, while Gavi and Pedri create space and opportunities for them. 

Albania vs Spain Match Prediction

Considering Spain’s recent momentum and attacking firepower, we expect they will have their way in this match by claiming possession and playing the ball down the wing to Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo, with dangerous crosses in the box. This tactical approach will likely overwhelm Albania, and by constantly pressing the attack, Albania will be forced on the back foot, minimising their attacking opportunities. That being said, Spain will likely be victorious in this final group stage match.

Albania vs Spain Correct Score Tips & Prediction

Spain’s attacking prowess combined with Albania’s defensive flaws and struggles to score a single goal against Chile and the Faroe Islands, suggests a one-sided match. Furthermore, Spain’s defensive line features Dani Carvajal, Aymeric Laporte, and Pau Torres who have proven difficult to penetrate after conceding just six goals in the qualifiers. The blend of Spain’s offensive ability and defensive stability makes a 3-0 scoreline a plausible prediction. 

Albania vs Spain Over & Under Betting Tips

While a 3-0 scoreline is realistic due to Spain’s attacking prowess and defensive solidity, Albania has also proven they can find the net with players like Myrto Uzuni, who regularly scores for Granada, as well as the striking ability of Taulant Seferi and Jasir Asani. Meanwhile, Spain often features high-scoring games with their mix of attacking talents, making over 2.5 goals a strong prediction.
