The England International is our key player to watch out for. He is in spectacular form for club and country, and he will look to find the back of the net here. He is a world-class player, and Albania could struggle to contain him. He is likely to create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net. England will need him to step up and produce a strong performance away from home in order to grind out all three points.
England are undoubtedly the better team, and they are in impressive form as well. They should be able to grind out a positive result here. They are full of confidence and momentum right now. The home team is likely to put up a fight, but they are expected to come up short here. A comfortable away win is on the cards for the Three Lions.
