Poland vs Albania Predictions

• Poland have won their last four games against Albania.
• Poland have kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight wins.
• Albania have failed to win each of their last six away internationals.

Resurgent performance expected from Poland

Poland’s European qualifying campaign didn’t exactly get off to a flier as they fell to a desperate 3-1 defeat to Germany on the opening day in what was their third straight defeat. However, they boast the winning coach from EURO 2016, Fernando Santos, and he will be hoping for a quick resurgence to get his first win in charge.

Santos’ men are expected to qualify from this group and winning games against the lesser nations in the group such as Albania is a must, especially at home. In fact, Poland have lost just once across 13 all-time H2Hs, winning nine times during that run and keeping clean sheets in three of the last four such matches.

Playing their opening game last week could prove to be an advantage for Poland, who welcome an Albania side who’ve not taken to the field since last November. Moreover, the visitors are winless across their last six away internationals and could foreseeably struggle to upset the odds in this particular clash.

Stick with the hosts to win to nil

We’re backing Poland to win this game without reply, Albania simply shouldn’t have the quality to overcome the Poles on home turf. For smaller stakes, we’re going for a workmanlike 2-0 home win in the correct score market to complete our selections for this encounter.
