Recent form
Albania
Albania's recent form has been mixed, with a draw against Croatia and a loss to Italy in the European Championship. Prior to the tournament, they had a promising run of back-to-back wins against Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein in friendly matches, scoring three goals in each game. However, they suffered consecutive defeats against Sweden and Chile in March. Albania's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals, and both teams finding the net in half of those fixtures. Despite the inconsistent results, Albania has managed to maintain a balanced goal difference over this period.
Spain
Spain is currently in excellent form, having won their last four matches, including impressive victories in the European Championship against Italy and Croatia. Their recent performances have been particularly high-scoring, with the team netting five goals in each of their friendly matches against Northern Ireland and Andorra. Spain's attack has been firing on all cylinders, scoring an average of 2.83 goals per game over their last six matches. However, their defensive record is also noteworthy, conceding just 0.83 goals per game and keeping three clean sheets during this period. The only blemish on their record is a surprise 1-0 loss to Colombia in March, but they quickly bounced back with a thrilling 3-3 draw against Brazil. With a goal difference of 12 and 67% of their matches featuring over 2.5 goals, Spain is playing an attractive and effective brand of football heading into the later stages of the European Championship.

They are currently on a two-game winning streak, following victories against Azerbaijan (3-1) and Liechtenstein (3-0) in June 2024.
