Will England remain completely without conceding a goal in World Cup qualifying?
The Three Lions have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico and are now just playing for pride. Tuchel’s team has won all seven World Cup qualifiers without conceding a goal and is in very stable form.
Even though there is nothing at stake, the English can still complete a perfect group stage. They have never dropped points against Albania and have conceded only one goal in seven games. Our tip for the Albania vs. England match is once again “England to win to nil.”
However, Albania may also be fairly “indifferent” to this game. England’s victory over their direct rivals Serbia on Thursday evening means that Albania are now guaranteed second place and a spot in the playoffs. After seven games, the hosts have 14 points, while Serbia have only ten. Albania can thank their strong defense for this – in the seven qualifying games, they conceded only three goals, two of which were against England.
In our Albania vs. England prediction, we are betting on under 2.5 goals in the game. You can place this bet in the easy-to-use Interwetten app at odds of 2.05. This is because only one of Albania’s seven qualifying games saw more than two goals scored – in their 3-0 win against Andorra.
England, under coach Thomas Tuchel, has had a flawless performance in qualifying group K, winning all seven games, scoring 20 goals, and conceding not a single goal. Now the Three Lions can reward themselves for a strong performance with one last victory and complete a flawless group stage. Tuchel seems to have awakened the British team offensively as well – they scored at least twice in six of the seven games and even scored twelve goals in the last three games.
What is particularly striking is that the England team is equally active in both halves. In each of the six qualifying games in which they scored twice, they scored in both halves and won them. We are therefore also playing the odds of 3.30 at Winamax in the last game between Albania and England.

Albania – England Tip
The English are not only the clear favorites in this match according to the Albania vs. England betting odds. The individual quality and current form clearly favor the “Three Lions.”
However, it should be noted that there is nothing at stake for either team, as England has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup and Albania will have to compete in the playoffs. Tuchel’s team won all seven of their qualifying games without conceding a goal, scoring 20 goals and winning 13 of the 14 halves possible.
Albania, on the other hand, scored points mainly with a robust defense and only three goals conceded in seven games, two of which came from the Three Lions alone. Otherwise, the hosts this time around recorded three 1-0 wins, but apart from a 3-0 victory over Andorra, they always scored less than 2.5 goals in a game. However, they traditionally stand no chance against England and have never celebrated a point – scoring only one goal in seven direct encounters.
