France are looking to add the European title to the World Cup victory they enjoyed last year. They haven't had it all their own way since that win and France failed to make it to the finals of the Nations League. After four games in this Euro 2020 qualifying group, they are top of the table but there are only three points between the top four teams. France are ahead of Turkey and Iceland on goal difference with nine points from their four games. They made a powerful start to the campaign with a 4-1 win in Moldova followed by a 4-0 home victory over Iceland. It all went wrong in the next game though as they lost 2-0 away to Turkey. A 4-0 win in Andorra put them back on track. They have six games left in this group and four of them are at home. France can't afford a slip-up in this game and should be able to get the win.

Albania made it through to the last European championships but face a real battle to get through this group. They are fourth in the group, three points behind the top two and they can't afford to let that gap get much wider. They didn't get off to a good start when losing 2-0 at home to Turkey. Their first win came when beating Andorra 4-0 but couldn't build on that as they lost 1-0 in Iceland. Three points came when beating Moldova 2-0 at home but it took them to the 66th minute to get the lead and the second goal came in the 93rd minute. Only two of their last seven away games have been won. The tip here is for France to win and be ahead at both half and full time.
