Sweden vs Albania Prediction & Betting tips
Today from 18:00, Friends Arena in Solna will host the international friendly match between Sweden and Albania. Interestingly, the team qualified for the final European tournament, Euro 2024, which will take place this year in Germany, is Albania, although many people would have expected Sweden. Five direct confrontations took place between the two teams, Sweden managing three victories and a draw and Albania’s only victory was in the only friendly match played in 2004, when they won 2-1.
Sweden:
As we told you above, Sweden missed the qualification for Euro 2024. Sweden was part of group F in the preliminaries, where it occupied the 3rd place after Belgium and Austria, the only nationals that were lower being Azerbaijan and Estonia. In fact, Sweden suffered one of the biggest humiliations in this qualification campaign, being defeated 3-0 away by Azerbaijan. This year, Sweden played two friendly matches, achieving a victory, 2-1 against Estonia, but also a painful defeat, 5-2 against Portugal. Sweden’s next match is scheduled for June 5 when they will face Denmark in a friendly match.
Albania:
On the other hand, Albania can be said to be one of the surprises from the preliminaries, managing to win group E, in front of the Czech Republic and Poland, the latter having to play the final of the barrage for qualifying for Euro 2024 against Wales. Albania suffered only one defeat in the ten matches, 1-0 away to Poland and even though it recorded some modest results, 1-1 with Moldova and 0-0 with the Faroe Islands, it managed to qualify for Euro 2024. Before the confrontation with Sweden, Albania played a friendly match in the company of Chile, a match it lost 3-0. In the next match, Albania will face Liechtenstein, in a friendly match.
