Albania take on Spain in the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf on Monday night in their final Group B of Euro 2024 clash. The Albanians currently sit on one point in the group, which they obtained via a hard-earned 2-2 draw with Croatia. They weren’t disgraced in their first game either, going a goal ahead of Italy early on before eventually falling to a 2-1 defeat. They’ve certainly shown they’ve got fight and some quality about them, and 3 points here could put them in a very healthy position to qualify as one of the best-performing third-placed teams.
Spain comes into this knowing that, whatever happens here and elsewhere, they are going through to the knockout stages. A comfortable 3-0 win over Croatia was followed by a 1-0 win over Italy, which should have been more. Luis de la Fuente is expected to make some changes to his team in order to keep key players fresh and avoid injuries. They have shown so far, though, that even the younger players in their squad are exceptional talents, and even with changes being made to the starting team, the Spanish have a chance to keep their 100% record in the tournament.
The bookmakers tend to agree on that point unanimously and have installed Spain as the odds-on favourites to win the match. That leaves lots of value in backing Albania to win, which isn’t beyond the realms of possibility. For the more cautious punters, a bet on Albania or Draw in the double chance market still represents great value. Nico Williams has been electric for Spain so far in the tournament, and if he’s named in the starting lineup, a bet on him to score or assist in the game would be a wise investment.
