England are on the cusp of securing their place at the 2022 World Cup; they’ll do so with a win at home to Albania on Friday. In their last outing, the Three Lions had a shock home draw with Hungary, a result that left them with 20 points at the top of Group I. They are three points ahead of Poland and after beating Albania 2-0 away, they will be keen on the same here. England go to this game unbeaten in 90 minutes in their last 18 matches. They have also not lost a World Cup qualification game in the last 29. At home, they have 12 wins in 13 matches in World Cup qualification. In three of the last four World Cup qualification matches at home, they’ve led at half time and they’ve never lost to Albania in the earlier five matches, winning each of them.

Albania have lost to the two sides ahead of them in this group; ahead of this game they suffered their second loss to Poland. With two wins in their remaining two matches in this group, Albania can have hopes of qualifying for the finals in Qatar. That doesn’t seem very likely though in this game, facing an opponent they’ve lost to in each of the five meetings, and with a very good run at home. Before their loss to Poland, Albania had done well to register three wins – a double over Hungary and a win over San Marino. In this game, they face a side they lost 2-0 to, at home, and their run in World Cup qualification matches isn’t the best either. In their last 10 matches in this competition, Albania have lost five and failed to score in four of them
