Italy Albania betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 2^nd position, with 10 points won, after 3 wins and 1 draw. In the penultimate round, they have won an away match against FYR Macedonia by (2‑3). In the last round, they have won an away match against Liechtenstein by (0‑4). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 31 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 11 conceded. They come to this match after a home draw against Germany by (0‑0). Italy has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches.

They haven’t lost any of the last 4 matches for this competition. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 15 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 12 out of 15 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 15 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Italy have played well in the qualifiers for the World Cup in Russia and are among the top Group G players with 83% of the points played and are not a leader since they lose in the tiebreaker criteria for Spain. The team scored 11 goals, being the second best attack of their group, and conceded 4 goals, having the second defense less leaked and these figures demonstrate the good balance between the offensive and defensive sectors, but there is still scope to adjust defensively to suffer less goals, since the main characteristic of the Italian defenses in history are solid defenses that undergo very few goals. Playing as principal, as the match they will make this Friday, Italy made only 1 match where it was in the 1-1 draw with Spain in match where it was inferior both in possession of the ball and in the number of finalizations, but behaved well defensively to hold the pressure of the rival and ensure at least 1 point. Overall in the competition, the Italian team tends to be more efficient offensively in the first half, with 7 of their 11 goals coming in the first round, but it is between 75 and 90 minutes that they rocked the net more often with 4 goals scored. The highlight of the call of Coach Gian Piero Ventura is the young striker Andrea Belotti, who at just 23 years of age, is the top scorer of the Italian Championship.

Confirmed Lineup: Gianluigi Buffon, Davide Zappacosta, Mattia De Sciglio, Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, Antonio Candreva, Marco Verratti, Ciro Immobile, Andrea Belotti, Lorenzo Insigne.
