Sweden vs Albania Prediction 25.03.2024

• Competition: Friendly International
• Date: 25.03.2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Friends Arena (Solna)

In this window allocated for national team matches, Sweden and Albania will seize the opportunity to engage in a friendly match. This will serve as a preparatory step towards EURO 2024.

This will solely affect a single national team, Albania. Sweden has emerged as a significant letdown in the European Championship qualification. They were outperformed by Belgium and Austria in Group F, missing their chance to participate in the final tournament. Now, they face a void before the World Championship qualifiers commence. It’s worth noting that many players are shifting around in an effort to pinpoint the ideal combination.

Albania excelled in the qualification round, outperforming favorites Poland and the Czech Republic. They will now compete in the much-dreaded group of death, against powerhouses Spain, Italy, and Croatia. While they are not expected to win, the lack of pressure may work to their advantage. Recently, they suffered a loss to Chile in a preparatory match in Parma, ending with a score of 3-0. They are now focusing on improving their performance to overcome this setback.

Sweden vs Albania pick: ALBANIA X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)

Despite Sweden being the favored team in this match, the odds seem to be misaligned with the actual circumstances. Sweden recently suffered a substantial loss against Portugal, with a score of 5-2. There are numerous changes happening in the defense, and it’s unclear which defensive line will be playing this match. Furthermore, several new players are expected to debut in this match, courtesy of the coach. On the other hand, most Albanian players boast experience and are associated with reputable Italian clubs. These players are somewhat undervalued here and are motivated to improve their performance following a disappointing match against Chile. Therefore, the primary bet is leaning towards Albania not losing.
