Albania vs Chile Prediction and Betting Tips | March 22nd 2024

Chile begin their preparation for the upcoming Copa America when they take on Albania in a friendly at the Ennio Tardini Stadium on Friday.

Sylvinho’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last eight matches across all competitions and will also be looking to gather some momentum ahead of Euro 2024 in June.

Albania brought their European Championship qualifiers to an end last time out when they were held to a goalless draw by Faroe Islands at the Air Albania Stadium.

Despite failing to win their final two qualifying matches, Sylvinho’s side finished at the top of Group E after picking up 15 points from eight matches.

Albania, who are currently 64th in the latest FIFA World Rankings, take on Chile on Friday, before wrapping up their friendly schedule with a mouth-watering tie against France on March 25.

On the other hand, Chile failed to find their feet in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Ecuador last time out.

Ricardo Gareca’s men have now gone three consecutive games without a win, losing twice and claiming one draw since October’s 2-0 victory over Peru.

While Chile will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend, they have struggled to get going on the road, where they are without a win in 10 consecutive games.
