Albania vs Iceland prediction, preview, team news and more | 2022-23 UEFA Nations League 

Albania will host Iceland at the Air Albania Stadium on Tuesday (September 27) night in their final UEFA Nations League group game.

The hosts have endured a disappointing run in the continental showpiece. They were beaten 2-1 by Israel in their last game. Albania looked set to come away with a point after Myrto Uzuni's stunning late equaliser before their opponents reclaimed the lead at the death.

Albania sit third in their group with just one point from three games. They will now look to pick up their first win of the competition. Iceland, meanwhile, have drawn their three UEFA Nations League games so far. They played out a 2-2 draw against Israel in their last outing, taking the lead twice but squandering it on both occasions.

The visitors are second in their group with just three points from a maximum of nine. They can no longer advance to League A but will target a victory to end their campaign on a high.

Albania vs Iceland Prediction

Albania are winless in their last six games across competitions and have won just one of their last nine. They have failed to win their last three games at home and could struggle here.

Iceland, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last five games across competitions. They have, however, struggled on the road recently and might need to settle for a point.

Prediction: Albania 1-1 Iceland
