Albania vs Turkey Picks
World Champion France is likely to finish first in Group H because it has by far the best batch, so for the second place there will be three teams – Iceland, Turkey and Albania. Moldova and Andorra are “stuffed” without any chance to qualify. In the next round, on March 25, the Albanians will play away with Andorra and the Turks at home with Moldova, matches they will win. Friday’s match at Shkodër will be very important for both players, so he is expected to play cautiously. Şenol Güneş also has batch problems, will be his first game after Mircea Lucescu’s departure and probably would also be happy with Albania.
