Albania vs Czech Republic 12.10.2023

• Competition: UEFA EURO Qualification
• Date: 12.10.2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Air Albania Stadium (Tirana)

Prior to the commencement of the qualification process, the Albanian team expressed dissatisfaction with their assigned rivals, as competing against the Poles and Czechs was not ideal for securing one of the top two positions. Despite entering the group E matches as underdogs and lower-ranked competitors, the Albanians have already achieved remarkable outcomes in their initial five games. Notably, they secured a win against Poland on their home turf and managed to secure a draw against the Czech Republic on away grounds. Currently leading the group with 10 points, they have full control over their fate regarding direct qualification for the EURO.

The Czech Republic performed fairly well in the previous stage of the qualification and hopes for a similar number of matches. In contrast to Albania, they played one game fewer. The crucial accomplishment was their victory against Poland with a score of 3-1 at home, but the Czechs also suffered a couple of point losses. One of these setbacks occurred in a match that shouldn’t have ended in a draw against Moldova, with a score of 0-0. They also had a slightly less painful draw in the first match against Albania, with a score of 1-1 in Prague. Presently, both the Czech Republic and their rival, Poland, are in control, but the latter is in the worst position.

Albania vs Czech Republic pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

If the domestic national team secures a win, they would have completed 99% of the qualification process for the EURO. This achievement would be tremendous, although defeating the Czech Republic won’t be simple due to their strong determination and excellent team cohesion. The players seamlessly blend into the team, displaying remarkable chemistry and the ability to adapt according to the situation.

The upcoming match may resemble the previous one that took place a month ago, lacking notable actions from either team. Considering the significance of this match, a favorable choice would be to bet on under 2.5 goals as it is likely to have a limited scoring outcome. Additionally, a draw would benefit both sides and could be a strong possibility.
