Online sports betting sites expect Albania to finish rock bottom of Group A, but how accurate are their predictions? Let us take a look at the current Albanian standings.

Albania are -137 to finish rock bottom of Group A and, sadly for their fans, this seems the most obviously market to make a wager on. Albania may have shown signs that they are hard to beat – they do say there are no easy games in international football anymore – but the pressure of their first major tournament could prove to be too much for some of their players to take.

Goalkeeper Etrit Berisha and defender Elseid Hysaj both play their club football in Italy’s Serie A, so are experienced, but Albania need their young forwards Armando Sadiku, Sokol Cikalleshi, and Bekim Balaj to bring their scoring boots otherwise Albania’s first tournament experience will be a short one.

These points helped Albania push Denmark into third place and the playoffs.

While largely unfancied at Euro 2016, Albania showed a steely determination during their qualifying campaign, and they will not be heading to France to purely make up the numbers. 

Albania began their qualification campaign with a 1-0 away win in Portugal, managed a 1-1 draw with Denmark, and only lost their home tie with Portugal after a 92nd minute goal. They also lost 2-0 at home to Serbia with goals in the 91st and 94th minutes, showing they are a difficult side to break down.

With no star players as such, Albania have their work cut out to progress from Group A, but they are likely to gain a few extra fans due to their work ethic.
