On Saturday night, Albania hosts Scotland in the Nations League C, Group 1, as both teams look to pull level with Israel at the top of the group.
Both teams have taken three points from their UEFA Nations League games so far. However, the home side has played an extra game compared to the visitors.
Albania have been in poor form of late, winning just one of their last seven international games, and suffering five defeats in the process. Last time out, they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Israel, which left them bottom of the group.
The home side’s biggest problem of late has been scoring goals, as they have failed to score in five of their last seven outings. Their lack of goals has contributed to a number of low scoring games of late, as their last four matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Albania’s recent home record is not a great one, as they have won two of their last ten home games. The home side has also scored just two goals in their last six games on home soil.
Scotland have won just two of their last ten matches while suffering defeats in seven of their last nine matches. Last time out, Alex McLeish’s side suffered a 3-1 home defeat against Portugal in a friendly. Their recent games have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four outings.
The visitors have won just two of their last eight international matches and have lost their last three games on their travels. Their recent away games have been relatively low scoring, with three of their last four games on their travels.
Forebet predicts that this game will end in a low scoring draw, which could end the home side’s chances of taking top spot.
