Serbia vs Albania Prediction

Serbia were stunned by England last time out, conceding five unanswered goals, with the result being a real setback in terms of their hopes of potentially claiming first spot in Group K.

The home record of Serbia appears to be good as they lost only one of the last five matches. The loss they incurred were against England. They faced teams such as Spain, Switzerland, Denmark etc during that time as well. This kind of form is expected to influence the chances of Albania as they have an inconsistent away record. They won only five of their last 25 away matches. also, they have not experienced an away victory this World Cup qualifier season.

Albania will battle hard but 1-0 wins over minnows Gibraltar and Latvia in their last two outings do nothing to suggest they have the firepower to land a positive result in Leskovac.

As Albania haven’t scored in five of their previous six away losses, a clean sheet display from Serbia is anticipated. A 2-0 victory for the home side appears an excellent bet ads Serbia witnessed that scoreline in two of their last three home victories.
