Albania vs Czech Republic Prediction & Betting Tips (16 November)

Present at the Euro last June, Albania was not spared by the draw, falling into the group of death along with Spain, Italy and Croatia. Logically, she therefore had to settle for last place but she was counting on this League of Nations to find some color. Everything started very well for the Rouge et Noir who were able to beat Ukraine 1-2 last September before falling a few days later against Georgia 0-1. Subsequently, they were dominated in Czechia 2-0 but they then took their revenge on Georgia 0-1 on the last day to get within one point of the leader of this group. It is precisely Czechia which prances at the head of this group with a small lead over his first two pursuers.

These next two days are therefore very important for the outcome of this group. Surprise entry by Georgia 4-1 during the first day, Narodny Tim was stung and she showed her pride by then winning against Ukraine 3-2 and Albania 2- 0. On the other hand, they had to settle for a draw on the last day against Ukraine 1-1. Note that just like its opponent of the day, this Czech team was eliminated in the first round of the Euro, finishing last in its group behind Portugal, Turkey and Georgia.

All initially summoned, defenders Gjimshiti (Atalanta, 61 sel) and Kumbulla (Espanyol, 22 sel), midfielder Bare (Sarogosse, 29 sel) and striker Manaj (Sivasspor, 39 sel, 8 goals) all had to forfeit . Same observation for the important Broja (Everton, 23 caps, 5 goals) who has been injured for a while now. Albania can still count on the majority of its executives like the goalkeeper Strakosha (AEK Athens, 35 sel), the defenders Hysaj (Lazio, 89 sel), Ismaji (Empoli, 42 sel), Balliu ( Rayo Vallecano, 15 sel) and Ajeti (Bodrum, 30 sel) and midfielders Asllani (Inter, 27 sel, 3 goals), Bajrami (Rangers, 30 sel, 5 goals), Ramadanie (Lecce, 42 sel), Abrashi (Grasshoppers 50 sel) and Laçi (Sparta Prague, 34 sel, 4 goals) and Muçi (Besiktas, 13 sel, 3 goals). Up front, we should find the interesting Uzuni (Granada, 36 sels, 5 goals) and Asani (Gwangju, 20 sels, 5 goals).

There is also a bit of trouble on the Czech side since the defenders Zima (Slavia Prague, 22 sel), Zeleny (Sparta Prague, 12 sel) and Krejci (Girona, 16 sel) withdrew from this gathering while up front, the attackers Schick (Bayer Leverkusen, 42 sel, 20 goals) and Cvancara ( Gladbach, 8 selections, 1 goal) were not selected by their coach. Among the captains of this team who are very present, we can of course name the defenders Coufal (West Ham, 49 sel), Holes (Slavia Prague, 32 sel) and Boril (Slavia Prague, 29 sel), the midfielders Kral (Espanyol , 42 sels), Cerny (Rangers, 20 sels, 6 goals) and Provod (Slavia Prague, 26 sels) and the attackers Hlozek (Hoffenheim, 38 sels, 2 goals), Chory (Slavia Prague, 10 sels, 4 goals) and Kuchta (Midtjylland, 25 selections, 3 goals). In the absence of Schick, the top scorer in this team is captain Tomas Soucek (West Ham, 76 selections, 14 goals).
