  • Competition: World Cup qualifications
  • Date: Friday, 21st March 2025
  • Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
  • Venue: Wembley Stadium (London)

The last time England skipped the World Cup was in 1994 when the tournament was played last time in the USA. In 2026, the World Cup will return to the United States (plus Mexico and Canada), but it seems unlikely that England will not go out from their group. Thomas Tuchel's team played well in the previous Nations League, where they finished first in the second tier and progressed to the best level. England won the last three matches in a row, including a 5-0 win at home against Ireland in the previous game. 

Albania never played at the World Cup. However, they have improved in the previous years as Albania played in two of the last three European championships. Sylvinho's team also played in the second level of the Nations League the previous autumn but finished last in the group and was relegated. Albania won only one of the previous five matches. In the last game, they lost 2-1 at home against Ukraine. 

England vs Albania pick: England to win and cover AH -2 spread

England and Albania met four times in the 21st century, and in every of those four, England won with a two or more goals difference. In the previous game, in 2021, England won 5-0. The game on Friday should be similar.

The big news from England's first training session is that Cole Palmer sustained a muscle injury and will miss games against Albania and Latvia. Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White will replace Palmer. Gibbs-White will return to the squad after appearing in two matches in September. Marcus Rashford, Reece James, and Jordan Henderson got recalls for March games, too, while Dan Burn and Myles Lewis-Skelly will have the opportunity to debut for the national team as they got their first call-ups.
