With England seemingly flying away, the race for a second-place finish in Group I is getting congested, and two of the three contesting for the slot will be facing off. Fourth placed Hungary hosts second placed Albania in a game that has great implications to their qualification chances. Two points separate the two sides, Hungary on 10 and Albania on 12. A 2-1 win over Andorra was Hungary’s first victory in seven matches, and they have no clean sheet in six, while they’ve failed to score in four of seven. In the last eight matches, they have scored more than a goal in just two and will hope for a better outcome after losing to Albania in their earlier meeting in this group. Hungary have three wins in four meetings with Albania and this should give them the confidence they need going to this clash. Each of the four meetings have produced under 2.5 goals.

Albania thrashed San Marin 5-0 in their last outing and had earlier beaten Hungary 1-0. Three more points here will be a big boost to their quest for at least a playoff spot. Just like Hungary, Albania aren’t known for scoring a lot of goals; in the last five matches they’ve scored more than one in just one game. They however have three clean sheets in the last five matches and have failed to score in one of the five. Away from home, they are winless in three matches and have scored more than a goal in just one of five. Going to this game, they have also scored more than a goal in one of five away matches in World Cup qualifiers.
