France vs Albania Match Preview and Betting Tips - Euro Qualification 2019/20
France is set to take on Albania in their 5th match of the Euro 2020 qualifiers. The former European champions had finished as the runners up in the last edition. The hosts, who had lost to Portugal by 1-0 in the final of the UEFA Euro 2016, are currently at the top of the table in Group H. They would look to maintain their position as they take on the Albanians in their next match.
The French would be brimming with confidence ahead of their crucial clash against Albania, having won 3 of their first 4 matches of the qualifiers so far. Their only loss came against Turkey in their 3rd match of the campaign but they have revoked the fear with their performance against Andorra that saw them win the match by 4-0. It would be a tough challenge for Andorra to keep them under check as Les Bleus eye their fourth win of the competition in their fifth matchup.
Albania, on the other hand, is currently sitting on the fourth position in the table. They have won two matches so far while losing the other two of their first four matches. It would be a tough ask for them to beat the reigning world champions but as we know, in football, anything can happen.
