Will Albania spring a surprise? Prediction & AI tip, 24.06.2024
Spain has already all but secured group victory
After two very strong performances, the Spaniards are top of Group B. With 6 points to their name and a goal difference of 4:0, group victory is almost out of their reach. It is therefore quite possible that they will rotate a little in their final group game against Albania. Nonetheless, they are the big favorites in the game, which the AI forecast also sees similarly and predicts a victory for the Rojiblancos. Albania will invest everything in this game, however, as they still have a chance of advancing to the knockout phase with one point in their account. After a last-minute draw against Croatia, however, they will probably need a win. It would be one of the biggest sensations at Euro 2024.
Albania
- 1 point after 2 games
- Taken the lead in both games so far
- Always conceded 2 goals
Spain
- 6 points after 2 games
- 4:0 Goal difference
- Group victory as good as certain

Albania is one of the big surprises at this European Championship
After the draw, not many expected Albania to win any points at this European Championship. With reigning European champions Italy, 2018 runners-up Croatia and Spain, they were drawn in possibly the toughest group. Albania went into the first match against Italy as clear underdogs, but scored the opening goal after just 22 seconds to take a 1-0 lead. Since this success, the team has been riding a wave of success. Although the game against the reigning European champions was narrowly lost 2:1, the performance was impressive. On matchday 2, they were rewarded with a sensational 2:2 draw against Croatia to pick up their first point.
Luck was on the Albanians' side this time, as Klaus Gjasula only scored the equalizer in the 95th minute to make it 2-2. The team has now scored 3 goals in the tournament after 2 games against Italy and Croatia. With Gjasula, Laci and Bajrami, all 3 goals so far have been scored by midfielders. Albania must now also try to keep a clean sheet against Spain. They have conceded 2 goals per game against both Italy and Croatia.
With Klaus Gjasula, Mirlind Daku and Elseid Hysaj, 3 players have been shown a yellow card. This means that if they receive another yellow card, they would be suspended in a possible round of 16 match.

Spain has emerged as the absolute top favorite
The Spaniards did not necessarily go into this tournament as the absolute top favorites, their last results at major tournaments were too poor and they had too few world-class players in their squad, according to many. However, after the second matchday, Spain must be counted among the absolute top favorites. The Rojiblancos have probably put in the strongest performances of all the teams so far, winning both of their games against Italy and Croatia. In a difficult group, they are already as good as guaranteed to win the group thanks to a goal difference of 4:0 goals. After a 3:0 opening win against Croatia, the performance against Italy was particularly impressive. Although they only won this game 1:0, they were superior to the Italians in every respect.
Spain played like they did in their prime and once again had a very strong collective. This is particularly evident when you look at the bench. There you will find players like Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres and Mikel Oyarzabal. Captain Alvaro Morata has scored one goal so far, as have Daniel Carvajal and Fabian Ruiz. The latter is perhaps the best player at this tournament at the moment. Following the return of defensive boss Aymeric Laporte, the defense is also extremely solid and has hardly allowed the Italians any chances.
Like their opponents, however, they also have 3 players with previous problems. In defense, Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand will go into the final game with a yellow card. Rodri also has a yellow card. However, it is quite possible that these 3 players will not be used on the last matchday against Albania.
