Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Italy vs Albania

Italy

The Italian national team qualified directly for the 2024 European Championship, but the qualifying cycle was very difficult for the team, and the Italians got a ticket to the final stage of the tournament only in the last round, having drawn with Ukraine (0:0). Therefore, now Luciano Spalletti's charges will be much more motivated to play.

The Italians are in a very difficult group, where the national teams of Spain and Croatia will also play. This circumstance obliges the Italian team to take three points in the opening round, because a misfire already in the first game can cast serious doubt on the team’s prospects of making it to the playoffs of the tournament.

Albania

The Albanian national team became the main discovery of the qualifying campaign for Euro 2024: this modest team did not easily qualify for the final part of the tournament, but won its group, ahead of the strong teams of Poland and the Czech Republic. The very entrance to the European Championship can already be safely called a great success for Albania.

The Albanians were very unlucky with the draw for the group stage, because all the opponents in the quartet are significantly superior to the Orlovs both in terms of experience in performing at such tournaments and in the class of performers. On the other hand, the Albanians can safely play without pressure for the final result and will definitely give their all on the football field.
