Albania vs Czechia Prediction and Betting Tips | November 16th 2024

Albania will welcome Czechia to Air Albania Stadium in the UEFA Nations League group stage on Saturday. Both teams have two wins in four games thus far and Národní tým lead the hosts by one point in the Group B1 table.

The Red and Blacks returned to winning ways after back-to-back losses in their previous outing with a 1-0 away triumph over Georgia. Kristjan Asllani scored the game's only goal in the 48th minute thanks to Indrit Tuci's assist.

The visitors are unbeaten in their last three games in the Nations League, recording two wins. They played Ukraine last time around and were held to a 1-1 draw. Lukáš Červ scored in the first half and Artem Dovbyk leveled the score from the penalty spot after the break.

Albania vs Czechia Prediction

The Red and Blacks have two wins in the Nations League thus far, though both were registered in away games. Their only win in this fixture was registered at home in the UEFA Euro qualifiers last year.

The Czech Republic head into the match on a three-game unbeaten streak, scoring six goals while conceding thrice. Interestingly, they are winless in their last six away games in the competition, which is a cause for concern.

Ladislav Krejčí, Martin Vitík, David Zima, and Lukáš Kalvach have left the squad due to injuries. Regular starters Tomáš Souček, Lukáš Provod, Tomáš Holeš, and Vladimír Coufal have earned call-ups and should start here.

There is nothing much to separate the two teams and, considering the visitors' better goalscoring form, Czechia should be able to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Albania 1-2 Czechia
