Albania currently occupies the second place in the group, which grants participation in the European finals. Out of four matches, they have only suffered one loss, which was against Poland with a 0-1 score as the away team. On Thursday, they managed to avoid defeat in their visit to the Czech Republic, ending with a 1-1 draw. Historically, Albania has yet to secure a victory against Poland, with 2 draws and 9 losses in their 11 previous encounters.
Poland is in third position, one point behind Albania in the temporary standings. They have won both of their home matches so far, but have not performed as well in their away fixtures. They suffered defeats against the Czech Republic and Moldova, with the loss in Moldova being particularly surprising as they were leading 2-0. Now Poland faces a relatively comfortable opponent, and they won their last visit to Albania with a 1-0 score two years ago.
Albania has shown that they are not a weak team and are certainly capable of making things difficult for their opponents in this match. More is expected from Poland, especially after their two previous losses in away matches. The match is important for both teams, and I anticipate a tense battle in which the Polish team might once again deceive Albania.
