TIRANA, Albania (Interstat) — Two of the last remaining unbeaten teams in World Cup qualifying will clash Sunday when Albania hosts England at Arena Kombëtare.

The match is a battle for sole possession of first place in their qualifying group. England arrives with a perfect 4-0-0 record in the competition, while Albania sits just behind at 3-0-0. Both nations are also undefeated across all competitions this season; England is 7-0-0, and Albania is 4-0-1.

The Three Lions are in dominant form, having outscored their opponents 22-0 in their six qualifying matches. They are fresh off a 2-0 victory over Serbia on Thursday. Albania, meanwhile, earned a hard-fought 1-0 win against Andorra the same day, continuing a trend of narrow, defensive victories.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, England is projected to win 1-0. The model reflects England’s offensive firepower against an Albanian side that has proven difficult to break down, conceding only one goal in its last five matches across all competitions.

The matchup pits England’s high-scoring attack against Albania’s resilient defense, setting the stage for a tense encounter with significant implications for the group standings.
