Albania vs France Prediction & Betting tips
Reigning world champion France will board the plane to Tirana this weekend for the final round of the European Championship qualifying series against Albania. However, it will not be really exciting anymore. France has already received its European Championship ticket, while Albania has already been eliminated.
Albania:
For Albania, a disappointing European Championship qualifying series ends on Sunday evening. The Eagles made their first appearance at a major tournament at the 2016 European Championship, but will have to follow the European Championship next year.
The question now is whether Albania can recharge once again for its last European Championship qualifying competition, in which it therefore has nothing to do with anything but the sporting honor. The men of national coach Eduardo Reja, however, have something to put right after the shameful 2-2 draw last Thursday visiting football dwarf Andorra. Although Albania had a whopping 79 percent possession of the ball, it did far too little with only five goal attempts between the posts. Disgraceful, especially when you consider that no fewer than seven players in the current selection earn their living in the Italian Serie A.
France:
A few days ago, France won 2-1 against Moldova and thus definitively qualified for the European Championship next year. With a victory over Albania, Les Bleus are also assured of a group win.
National coach Didier Deschamps can therefore be satisfied, although the French field game is not quite what it should be. Against Moldova, the country soon fell behind and, thanks to a good penalty by Olivier Giroud, it took the lead in the 79th minute. Also in previous international matches against Turkey (home: 1-1), Iceland (from: 0-1) and Andorra (home: 3-0), the French could hardly impress. France does not yet play as a serious European Championship title candidate, but it still has more than half a year to put the proverbial dots on the i. European Championship qualification was the most important thing, and we succeeded.
