Czech Republic vs. Albania: Preview and betting tips

The Czech national football team will play another EURO 2024 qualifying match in Germany on Thursday evening. They will welcome Albania in Eden in Prague, what to bet on?

The Czechs are top of the table after three rounds so far. First they beat Poland, then came a stumble in Moldova (0:0), but followed that up with a 3:0 win in the Faroe Islands.

Albania are doing quite well so far, in second place with six points. First they fell to Poland, but then they beat Moldova and Faroe Islands.

The Albanians are serious about their assault on promotion and the fight with the Czech Republic and Poland. And they want to score points in Prague as well.

However, Jaroslav Šilhavy’s charges cannot afford to hesitate. They have already lost points to a weaker opponent, so they cannot afford to do so with a competitor in the fight for promotion, especially at home.

Albania doesn’t have a star team, but they have players in the top leagues, especially in Italy. For example, captain Elsed Hysaj plays for Lazio Rome, and Yiber Ramadani is in Italy. Kristjan Asllani is also playing for Inter Milan. In addition, goalkeeper Etrit Berisha plays for Empoli, whose blue colours are also defended by defender Ardian Ismajli.

Thomas Strakosha left for Brentford in the summer after years at Lazio. Defender Berat Djimsiti is in his sixth year with Atalanta and Nedim Bajrami is playing for Sassuolo. Two players are also active in Spain, Myrto Uzuni helped Granada to promotion to La Liga with 23 goals and Keidi Bare was part of Espanyol’s relegation.

The Albanians are definitely not to be underestimated, as they put together a very solid team, packed with both Top Leagues. However, the Czechs have lost only one of their last 14 games at home and are very strong on home soil. That’s why they shouldn’t let the three points slip away.
