Czech Republic vs Albania Prediction 07.09.2023

• Competition: EURO Qualification
• Date: 07.09.2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Fortuna Arena (Prague)

Before the start of the qualifiers, Group E had one favorite that stood out a bit from its rivals in this match, namely Poland. However, two defeats in the first 3 rounds against the Czech Republic and especially Moldova dropped this team to 4th place in the group.

The Czech Republic has played excellently so far and are now strong favorites to finish in one of the first two positions and qualify for the EURO. A draw against Moldova may not have been foreseen, but it is noticeable that this national team from Eastern Europe is playing somewhat better than in the previous qualifying cycles. What is most important for the Czechs is to win at home until the end.

Albania now see their chance for a successful qualifying result, although they lost against Poland away from home. The home matches will also be crucial for them, but they must win some points on the road. This could be a good chance. The last time they met at this stadium in 2021 in a friendly match Albania lost 3-1

Czech Republic vs Albania pick: CZECH REPUBLIC TO WIN

The Czech Republic has lost only once at home in the last 10 matches against Portugal. After the victory against Poland, the ambition is clear, to be one of the two first-placed teams in the group, and the Czech Republic also has a very good chance to finish in 1st place and thus get a better seed for the main EURO draw. Albania is quite a solid team with some good individuals who play in Serie A, but overall they don't look very good and they lost matches against teams like Qatar and Israel. We expect the home team to win.
