Albania and Andorra will trade tackles at the Air Albania Stadium in a dead-rubber 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Monday.

The home side come into the game on the back of a 5-0 away drubbling at the hands of England. Harry Kane was the star of the show with a hat-trick and assist in the rout.

Andorra fell to a 4-1 defeat to Poland on home turf. Robert Lewandowski's brace guided the Poles to victory over their 10-man hosts.

Albania's defeat to England, coupled with Poland's victory, saw them eliminated from the qualifiers. The Red and Blacks have garnered 15 points from nine matches to sit in third place while Andorra are in fifth place on six points.

Albania vs Andorra Prediction

Despite their heavy defeat to England, Albania's relative success in these qualifiers was based on a sturdy defense that gave little away.

The home side will be looking to restore their battered reputation from the defeat to England and they will also have their sights set on securing third spot in Group I. Andorra are likely to try and absorb the home side's pressure but we are backing Albania to secure a comfortable victory.
