Albania vs Poland: Preview

Albania kept their hopes of making it to the playoffs of the 2022 World Cup with a narrow 1-0 win over Hungary in the last game. Chelsea youngster Armando Broja came up clutch for his nation to score the winner in the 79th minute of the game, which now sets up a crucial mouth watering fixture in Group I when they go head to head against Poland.

A win for Edoardo Reja’s men on Tuesday night will not only open a 4 point lead from 3rd place Poland but will also see them trail England by one point. With the win against Hungary, Albania have now made it three wins in three and also keeping clean sheets in all three games.

The visitors, Poland cruised past San Marino in their last game winning 5-0 on the night. Karol Swiderski’s header and a Cristian Brolli own goal put Poland 2-0 up in the first half, while Tomasz Kedziora and substitutes Adam Buksa and Krzysztof Piatek made it a comfortable win over world’s worst ranked nation. With both group fixtures against England out of the way Poland’s chances of making it to the playoffs have boosted and a win against Albania seems on the cards. Poland were 4-1 victorious against Albania the last time these two nations met.

Albania vs Poland: Prediction

This may be a easy routine fixture for Paulo Sousa’s men on paper, but Albania continue to defy expectation in World Cup Qualifying and are not an easy matchup at all. However a 4-1 win for the visitors against Albania last month will boost their chances of another win and take up the second spot in the group. Hence we predict a win for Poland in this game.
