Albania take on minnows Andorra in what should turn out to be a comfortable win for the hosts on 24 March.
Both teams started off poorly in their bid to qualify for the 2026 World Cup in Mexico, Canada and the USA. However, with Albania boasting a significantly stronger squad, it appears as if the side coached by former Arsenal player Sylvinho will take an easy victory.

Albania vs Andorra prediction: Hosts to secure a win
Key stats
- Andorra have failed to score in each of the last three fixtures.
- With eight losses in their last 10 games, Andorra have struggled to find their best form.
- Jasir Asani has scored five goals in 20 appearances for Albania.
Correct score prediction: Albania 2-0 Andorra
While both teams have been distinctly poor of late, Albania have certainly been the best of a bad bunch, winning once out of their previous four fixtures. Andorra, on the other hand, have one won game of football in their last 24 matches, beating fellow minnows San Marino 2-0.
This appears to be a game that will lack quality, but with Albania having recently beaten Georgia 1-0 and drawn with the Czech Republic, it is clear that will possess the necessary attributes to claim a home win.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Albania victory almost guaranteed
- HOME: 1/5 (1.20) – 83.33%
- DRAW: 11/2 (6.50) – 15.38%
- AWAY: 20/1 (21.00) – 4.76%
This game should be a slam dunk for punters. Albania have been given an 83.33% chance of winning, and with Andorra having failed to score in nine of their last 10 fixtures, a win-to-nil for Albania would be a very probable outcome.

Most recent H2Hs: Fourth meeting between the sides
The sides have in fact met very frequently in recent years, playing each other four times between March 2019 and the present day. Albania have won three and drawn once out of those encounters.
The Balkan side took a 1-0 victory last time out, as a 73rd-minute penalty converted by Enri Cekici was enough to see off Andorra. In keeping with current odds, there seems to be little chance of Andorra salvaging anything from the game.

Albania preview: Hoping to get qualifying campaign off the ground
Albania will be hoping to get their World Cup qualification campaign up and running after losing 2-0 to England in their opening fixture. Goals from Myles Lewis-Skelly and serial marksman Harry Kane proved to be the difference between the two sides, as Albania failed to even have a shot on target. Facing a much weaker opposition this time out, Sylvinho will be hoping his side can take all three points.

Andorra preview: Hoping to avoid catastrophe
Anything other than an embarrassing scoreline would be seen as win for Andorra. The tiny nation of just 80,000 people would be shocked by any result that was not a defeat, and will just be looking to keep the game as tight as possible.

Player to watch: Jasir Asani
A potentially left-field choice, but Gwangju FC winger Jasir Asani has started the K League season very brightly, finding the net three times in his first four games.
In a game likely to be lacking in goals, Asani could certainly be the difference-maker. This is made especially apparent by the fact that star striker Armando Broja is still returning from injury, having not started against England. Asani could thus prove to be the difference between the two nations.
