Albania vs Scotland Prediction & Betting tips
This Saturday, 17.11.2018, is a game of the Nations League in Group 1 in League C on. In the evening Albania and Scotland will meet at 19:45 (CET) in the stadium Loro Borici in Shkoder. Both teams are currently in three points, but it will be the last group match for Albania, while Scotland will have to play Israel once again. Group 1 is the only group in Liga C with only three teams. Thus, the last place does not automatically decrease, but is compared with the other third of the other three C groups. Correspondingly, goals can make a difference in the end. If there is a tie on Saturday night, then Albania will definitely stay in last place. Above all, Scotland wants to win in order to prevail against Israel in the end. In that case, there would be a final round of promotion in the last game. Although the Scots are playing abroad, they still have good chances.
Albania:
For Albania, the chances are not very good at the moment. The Albanians have already won three games, but have lost one game against both Israel and Scotland. However, a home victory in the first game against Israel has given the team at least three points. If another home win against Scotland were to succeed now, chances would not be so bad to prevent relegation. Even if Albania ends up in third place, every point would be important in order to be in the lead in direct comparison with the other group stages. Theoretically, the team can also land in third place, without having to descend into league D.
After the victory against Israel followed two defeats in the Nations League. In Scotland, Albania lost 2-0. The same result was also found in Israel. In between, after all, it was enough for a 0: 0 at home against Jordan. Nevertheless, these last results show that Albania has above all problems on the offensive. In the last seven games in a row, the Albanians have just scored two goals. Of course, this does not exactly increase the odds when it comes to the possible victory of the hosts.
Scotland:
The Scots are not necessarily better off than Albania. At the moment there are only three points on the account, which means that last place is also an option should Scotland lose in Albania on Saturday. However, it is positive for the Scots that there is still a game to play against Israel and even a draw in Skhoder would be enough to be able to safely avoid the last place. A draw is certainly a realistic result, but the Scots have not been successful weeks and months behind them.
Scotland lost their last two games in a row. In the test against Portugal, there was a 1: 3 defeat, before a 1: 2 bankruptcy in Israel. The only win of recent times was in the first leg against Albania 2-0. Before that, it had also hailed three consecutive defeats. The Scots are also notable for not scoring so many goals, albeit more than Albania. In the last eight games there was only one game in which two goals were marked. That was against Albania. Otherwise succeeded only one hit or none.
