Albania – Italy PREDICTION & TIPS
3rd in the standings, Albania have long dropped in the race to qualify and finish the competition in free wheeling. After 3 games without a setback and a draw in Macedonia on Matchday 8 (1-1), the Albanians finally relapsed on Spain’s lawn last Friday (3-0).
Italy (1-0), Italy have definitely said goodbye to the first place in the last weekend (1-1) by a bad draw at home against Macedonia. Assured of finishing second in the classification, the Transalpins must however win to officially validate their place of barrage. Slight advantage Italy on the form
Albania came on top of both of these private qualifying matches for its new goalkeeper Strakosha (Lazio), midfielder Abrashi (Friborg) and Hyka (MLS), of striker Cikalleshi (Osmanlispor), injured. The Albanian side will be led by leaders Berisha (Atalanta), Agolli (Qarabag), Mavraj (Hamburg), Hysaj (Naples), Roshi (Grozny), Lenjani (Sion) and Sadiku (Legia Warsaw). The young lateral of Metz, Balliu is again in the list. Present in the group, the usual holders Kukeli, Mavraj and Roshi are all back from suspension and it is Taulant Whaka and Llullaku who are now suspended.
Italy: De Sciglio (Juve) and Conti (Milan), De Rossi, Pellegrini (Roma), Verratti (PSG), Marchisio (Juventus), and striker Belotti (Torino) , all wounded. Excellent with Valencia, Zaza is dismissed, just like Balotelli. The team is led by its leaders Buffon, Chiellini, Barzagli (Juventus), Bonucci (AC Milan), Candreva, Eder (Inter Milan), Insigne (Naples), El-Shaarawy (Roma) and Immobile (Lazio Rome). For this match, El Shaarawy and Barzagli (out of play against Macedonia) are uncertain. Advantage Italy on paper
