Prediction published on 21/03/2025, 11:00 by Steve Ashfield in World Cup Predictions

England begin life under their new coach. Tuchel will be wanting to see his new team get off to a winning start at home to Albania in World Cup qualifying Group K. Will the Three Lions get a home win? Read our match prediction.

Also in this group are Serbia, Andorra and Latvia, so it isn't too hard a group for England. The winners automatically qualify for next year's finals with the second-placed side going into the play-offs. England have won their last three matches and won their Nations League group. Their interim-coach for that tournament was Lee Carsley but he's back in charge of the Under-21 team now.

Albania have never made it through the qualifying rounds but did reach the finals of the Euros in both 2016 and 2024. They will expect to be in a battle with Serbia for the play-off spot in this group but have gone two games without a win.

England - Albania: Form Analysis

England lost at home to Greece in the Nations League but won their next three games to win their group. That was confirmed when beating Ireland 5-0 in their most recent fixture. 11 goals have been scored in their last three fixtures.

This is their seventh match against Albania and all of the previous six have been won. Their last two World Cup qualifying matches have seen them score 15 goals without reply and that has taken their unbeaten run in qualifiers to 31 matches, last losing 16 years ago.

Tough task for Albania.

Albania last played England in a World Cup qualifier and were beaten 5-0. They finished bottom of their group in the 2024/25 Nations League and were relegated to the third-tier. The Red and Blacks have only won one of their last five games, a win in Georgia.

Three of their last seven away World Cup qualifiers have been won. The most notable was in Hungary but away matches against top nations usually end in heavy defeats.

England & Albania Squad Analysis

This is the first match with Thomas Tuchel in charge and he has recalled Jordan Henderson. Harry Kane is still captain and will fancy his chances of scoring against Albania. He hit a hat-trick the last time these two countries met.

Cole Palmer has withdrawn from the squad (Tuchel will have to get used to that) and been replaced by Morgan Gibbs-White. It will be interesting indeed to see what formation is used by Tuchel.

Burn and Rashford have been selected.

A possible debutant for England could be Dan Burn. He's already had a big week after being part of the Newcastle team that won the Carabao Cup at Wembley. Marcus Rashford is also in the England squad now he's playing again at Aston Villa.

Seven of Albania's squad are based in Italy. It would have been eight but Elseid Hysaj has been ruled out due to injury. Albania will also be missing Mario Mitaj who plays his club football for Al-Ittihad.

Back in the squad are strikers Armando Broja and Rey Manaj who didn't play in their last match four months ago. It's going to be a tough night for Albania and England can expect to have to get past plenty of defenders if they want to win this match.

Our England vs Albania Prediction

England should have few problems winning this group. It's not the hardest of draws they could have had and a winning start should be made on Friday. They have won all six of their previous matches against Albania, most recently a 5-0 home win four years ago.

Albania were relegated in their Nations League campaign but will hope to be able to challenge for a second-place finish in this World cup qualifying group. This is a tough start though and our main England v Albania prediction is England to win and lead at half and full time.
