Albania vs Switzerland betting tips 11 October WC Qualifiers: "Albania is entering this game with the last chances of hoping to get the second spot in this qualifying group, as the team needs the victory desperately. They are currently fifth at the table, but with only three points less than second placed Iceland and still can get the play-off ticket in case of two victories in next four days."
No doubt that they will have to be very lucky and other results will have to work in their favor, but for the start they will have to win over Switzerland to keep the chances alive. However, matches played in September have narrowed their chances a lot as the team suffered two defeats: away to Slovenia and away to Iceland, both with one goal difference. No doubt that the game against Switzerland will attract a lot of attention in Albania, even if the game had no competitive meaning to the home team as six players in Switzerland squad have Albanian roots. No doubt that the home team will be fully motivated for this game, wanting to obtain three pointer tonight, while they have no serious injury or suspension worries except veteran striker Bogdani.
Switzerland, on the other side, stands first at the table with five points more than second placed Iceland and will surely want to win tonight and finish the questions regarding their ticket to Brazil 2014. In any other case, they would complicate their lives a bit more, but would still be in commanding position and would keep the destiny in their hands.
They could even lose both remaining matches and would still get the first position, as long as Iceland or Slovenia don’t earn all six points out of two remaining rounds. In any way, they will be awaiting Slovenia in the last match and surely have lots of chances to finish as the first team. They are coming from a 2:0 victory away in Norway, which was one of the major results in the qualifying group that brought them to a such a good position. Midfielder Liechtsteiner from Juventus is injured for this game, while striker Gavranovic wasn’t called up this time. On the other side, midfielder Derdiyok from Leverkusen is coming back into the team, same as central defender Djourou from HSV. It’s still to be seen whether the players with Albanian roots will play in this game, although it might be a bit too much for all six not to play a single minute.
Switzerland didn’t lose in last twelve matches.
No doubt that the Albanian squad will be fired up for this game, but at the same time Swiss remains slight favorite and surely, much more quality side, even if they don’t field up some/or all of their players. Both teams to score gather much more chances than the bookmakers have set the chances as open game from both teams is expected in all ninety minutes.
Bet: Both teams to score
