The Euro 2020 qualifiers continue on Tuesday and our next preview features a second clash from Group H with Albania taking on Iceland as the betting tips continue at the Stadiumi Loro Boriçi.
Albania Prediction – Can Albania bounce back?
After being handed a heavy 4-1 defeat away at France over the weekend, Albania are now 6 points adrift of 3rd placed Iceland who also happen to be Albania’s opponents on Tuesday night in what could be described as a ‘six-pointer’ with Albania’s hopes hanging by a thread.
The hosts have registered just 2 wins from their 5 group matches so far which were a 3-0 win away at bottom nation, Andorra, and a 2-0 home win against second from bottom nation, Moldova, but when they’ve come up against the stronger teams in Group H, Albania have been found wanting with defeats to Turkey, Iceland and France respectively.
In addition, just 2 wins from their last 8 Euro qualifiers at home suggest that this could be a tough evening for Albania whose only victories during this rather lean period were wins against Armenia and Moldova, as well as including just 1 clean sheet.
To make matters worse, Albania have lost their last 3 encounters on the trot against Iceland so recent history has also been against them which doesn’t bode well for this upcoming clash on Tuesday night.
Iceland Prediction – Can Iceland pull ahead?
By comparison, Iceland are positively firing on all cylinders as the visitors sit joint top of Group H with France and Turkey with all three teams level on 12 points prior to this Tuesday night’s Euro 2020 action.
Like their rivals at the top of the group, Iceland still remain unbeaten on home turf at their Laugardalsvöllur ground as they possess a 100% winning record, while on the road they’ve lost 1 and won 1 with a 4-0 loss at France being compensated by a 2-0 win away at wooden-spoon contenders, Andorra.
Iceland will be keen to make this match count and will no doubt fancy their chances of collecting maximum points against a seemingly fragile Albanian outfit, and with recent history on their side, Iceland will be keen to keep their momentum going here.
The visitors have won their last 3 group matches on the trot with victories registered against Albania, Turkey and Moldova as Iceland have made the most of home advantage with all three wins being achieved on home soil.
Key-Facts – Albania v Iceland

- Iceland have won the last 3 group matches on the trot

Betting Tips Verdict
Albania may come up short against a superior Iceland outfit here, especially with the visitors chasing a top two finish.
