ALBANIA v ITALY
Monday 9th October 2017 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – Europe – World Cup Qualifier Betting Tips
Albania will play host to an Italian outfit who will be keen to register all three points in tonight’s final match in Group G as the visitors seek to secure a play-off spot in these World Cup qualifiers.
Albania currently sit in third spot in the group as expected, behind leaders Spain and second placed Italy, but they too will want to edge out Israel into third place and maintain national pride in the process. Inconsistency though has cost Albania as they’ve won four but lost four of their nine group matches to date.
Albania possess a home record of 2-0-2 4/6 which includes wins over Macedonia and Liechtenstein, but have lost to Spain and Israel also. Italy are expected to severely test the Albanian’s inconsistent defence here tonight.
Onto Italy, and although they’ve comfortably taken second spot in Group G, they have no way of catching group leaders Spain now, and must take their chances as being one of the best second placed teams in all of the qualifying groups as a result.
Three points tonight would go a long way to earning one of the two-legged play-off spots, and having lost just once in their last 36 World Cup qualifiers overall, the visitors stand a very good chance of taking all the points this evening.
In addition, Italy possess a strong away record of 3-0-1 10/6 in Group G to date which includes wins at Israel, Macedonia and Liechtenstein, scoring 10 goals and conceding just 3 in reply in these successful trips. Look out for striker Immobile (6 goals) as a potential anytime goalscorer as he spearheads the Azzurri attack tonight.
