Spain vs Albania: Euro 2024 Group B Winners Face Albania in Crucial Match
Spain Confirms Group B Victory; Albania Eyes Last-16 Qualification
As the Euro 2024 group stage draws to a close, Spain, already confirmed as Group B winners, will face Albania at the Merkur Arena. While Spain has secured their place in the knockout rounds, Albania still has a chance to qualify for the last 16 with a positive result.
Spain's Dominance in Group B
Spain has been in impressive form throughout the tournament, showcasing their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. In their opening match, they defeated Norway 3-0, followed by a narrow 1-0 victory over Poland. Their attacking trio of Pablo Sarabia, Marco Asensio, and Alvaro Morata has been particularly effective, scoring crucial goals.
Albania's Fight for Qualification
Albania, on the other hand, has had a more challenging tournament so far. They lost their first match against Poland but bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Norway. Their chances of qualifying for the last 16 depend on a win against Spain and favorable results in other group matches. Albania will be motivated to perform at their best against the tournament favorites.
Betting Odds and Predictions
Despite Spain's dominance, the betting odds for the match are relatively close. Spain is favored to win at -110 odds, while Albania is an underdog at +330 odds. However, given Albania's recent resurgence and Spain's potential for squad rotation, an upset cannot be ruled out.
Key Stats for Betting
When considering your betting options, it's worth noting some key statistics from the tournament so far:
- Spain has won both of their matches, scoring four goals and conceding none.
- Albania has won one and lost one, scoring three goals and conceding four.
- Neither Spain nor Albania has been prolific in terms of corners, averaging 3.5 and 2.5 per match, respectively.
Based on these statistics, a bet on the Under 4.5 total corners market at -110 odds could be a valuable option.
