Poland vs Albania: Preview

Poland finished as runners-up behind the Netherlands in Group G and were beaten just once across eight games.

A pivotal 2-1 loss against Finland of all sides back in June was their Achilles heel and they will have to first beat Albania if they want to play either Ukraine or Sweden in the play-off qualifier final next week.

A home tie here, they will then play either Ukraine in Valencia or Sweden in Solna if they progress.

Albania's first major tournament appearance came at Euro 2016, where they were unfortunate not to be one of the best third-placed sides after losing to Switzerland and France before beating Romania.

Sylvinho has picked Rangers man Nedim Bajrami and Burnley's Armando Broja to try and help them book a spot at the 2026 World Cup in the US.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Poland 2-1 Albania

FourFourTwo is predicting Poland to win in Warsaw, with Robert Lewandowski to no doubt find the net at some point.
