Andorra vs Albania prediction: EUROPE: World Cup – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-11-12 19:45.
[p]Andorra will be glad this is the final game of yet another miserable World Cup qualification (WCQ) campaign, as they welcome an Albania side on the brink of making history.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Andorra truly have nothing to play for in their last WCQ match of this cycle, as they’re already confined to finishing at the bottom of Group K having secured just one point from their seven matches thus far. This will be their sixth last-placed finish in their seven WCQ campaigns, but they have at least managed to get on the scoresheet in their two most recent outings after failing to score in all of their eight matches prior. One of those came in their last home game against Serbia (L 3-1), forming part of a four-match losing streak on their own turf since beating San Marino over a year ago.[/p]
[p]After qualifying for Euro 2024, Albania have continued their positive momentum in this WCQ cycle, and head into the final two matchdays in the the top two thanks to a five-game unbeaten run in Group K (W3, D2). A play-off spot would be theirs should they win here and Serbia lose to England, so nerves could be widespread for a nation who’ve never qualified for the World Cup before. With their last game coming against the English, boss Sylvinho will want his side to get the job done here, and can take heart from Albania losing just one of their last five road games (W3, D1).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Albania have won six of the eight previous H2Hs (D1, L1), keeping a clean sheet in each victory.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Guillaume López opened the scoring with his first Andorra goal against Serbia last time out, contributing to five of his last eight goals for club or country coming before half-time. Albania’s Rey Manaj has never lost when scoring for his country (W8, D1), a run that includes netting the crucial goal in Albania’s potentially decisive 1-0 win away to Serbia in their last WCQ, and three goals in as many career appearances against Andorra.[/p]
[p]Neither team appear to have any injury concerns heading into the game. [/p]
