vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Albania and San Marino have not yet played in this Nations League campaign, so the picture comes from recent results and the head-to-head record. Albania have won only one of their last six friendlies and qualifiers, a 1-0 win away to Andorra in November 2025; since then they have lost five in a row, the latest a 0-1 defeat to Luxembourg, preceded by another loss, 0-1 to Israel, and further back three more defeats, 0-1 away to Ukraine, 1-2 away to Poland and 0-2 to England. San Marino have not won any of their last six outings: one draw, 0-0 against Andorra, and five defeats. Their last match ended in a 1-2 loss away to Azerbaijan, preceded by another defeat, 1-2 to Bangladesh, and before that the draw with Andorra; further back come another loss, 1-2 to the Faroe Islands, a heavy 1-7 defeat away to Romania and, in the earliest of the six, a 0-1 loss away to Czechia. In the head-to-head record, the most recent meeting, played at Albania's home just like this match, came in September 2021 and finished 5-0; the meeting before that, in March 2021 and played at San Marino's home, finished 0-2 to Albania on the road. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
