- Venue: Air Albania Stadium (Tirana)
The spotlight is set on the Air Albania Stadium this Sunday, where Albania and Poland will lock horns in the fifth round of Group E qualifiers for EURO 2024.
Albania's journey towards EURO 2024 in Germany started on a bumpy road with a narrow 0-1 defeat to Poland. However, they quickly recovered and shone in the June qualifiers, securing routine victories over Moldova (2-0) and the Faroe Islands (3-1). Buoyed by their earlier successes, the Red and Blacks secured a precious point with a 1-1 draw in their first September clash against Czech Republic. With this result, Sylvinho's squad solidified their grip on the second spot in Group E, collecting seven points, one clear of third-placed Poland, and one point behind the group-leading Czech Republic.
Meanwhile, Poland has navigated through a series of highs and lows in their EURO 2024 qualifying campaign, characterized by alternating victories and defeats in their first four matches. It began with a disappointing 1-3 loss to Czech Republic, followed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Albania. However, the Eagles faced an unexpected hurdle in the third round, suffering a shocking 2-3 defeat against Moldova before regaining their winning momentum with a comfortable 2-0 victory over the Faroe Islands, thanks to a double from Lewandowski.
Albania vs Poland Betting Tips: BTTS
In their pursuit of claiming the second position in Group E, Poland is pinning their hopes on their dominant head-to-head record against Albania, having emerged victorious in eight consecutive meetings, including a hard-fought 1-0 win in their reverse fixture. However, the recent displays and form of the Polish team do not inspire confidence or provide signs that their supremacy over Albania will continue this Sunday, especially considering their lackluster away performances.
To make things even trickier, Poland's defensive lineup has shown signs of weakness in their recent away games, allowing 3+ goals in three successive road fixtures. This vulnerability is an area that Albania is set to capitalize on effectively. Despite this, Robert Lewandowski and company will be determined to make their mark on the scoreboard, knowing that they have consistently breached Albania's defensive lines in all 11 of their past encounters. As both teams contemplate their chances, we foresee an entertaining and high-scoring duel, with goals expected from both sides.

Albania team news
Having earned a crucial point in their 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic, coach Sylvinho is likely to stick with the same starting eleven for their upcoming September qualifying match, with Taulant Seferi and Sokol Cikalleshi set to spearhead the forward line.
With Marash Kumbulla out of action because of a serious ACL injury, Albania's defensive nucleus will be helmed by Ardian Ismajli and captain Berat Djimsiti, while Mario Mitaj and Elseid Hysaj are likely to remain in their roles as full-backs.

Poland team news
Securing a double in the 2-0 victory against the Faroe Islands in the September qualification opener, Barcelona's stellar striker Robert Lewandowski has now accumulated a remarkable 81 goals in his national team journey, positioning him as the key offensive threat against Albania's defense.
In contrast to the match against the 129th-ranked national team in the world, Poland's coach Fernando Santos will need to field a significantly stronger lineup, and Fenerbahce playmaker Sebastian Szymanski is poised to start from the first referee's whistle against Albania on Sunday.
