Prediction: 1-0
Albania
Wales play host to Albania at their Cardiff City Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting game. Wales suffered an expected 3-0 loss to France on Wednesday evening, but they are surely capable of matching Albania at home ground. Talented defender Neco Williams is banned for the hosts, while Juventus ace Aaron Ramsey is likely to return to the starting XI. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Tottenham attacker Gareth Bale.
Unlike Wales, Albania will not take part at the upcoming European Championship finals. The Dragons want this win more than the Albanians, and we are positive that the hosts are going to prove their worth in their last warm-up game before EURO 2020. Konyaspor attacker Sokol Cikalleshi, who has netted 10 goals in 39 appearances for the national team, is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Gareth Bale):
Gareth Bale is a Welsh footballer who plays for Real Madrid as a winger. “Bailo” was born in Cardiff on 16 July, 1989 and, as expected, he played for his home-town club Cardiff Civil Service at the start of his youth career. He moved to Southampton’s football academy in 1999 and he made a great progress during his spell with the Saints.
Bale made 40 league appearances for the first team and it has to be noted that he played as a full back at the start of his senior career. In 2007 he signed a contract with Tottenham Hotspur and he was producing thrilling performances with the White Hart Lane outfit from 2007 to 2013. Real Madrid chiefs did well to sign him on 1 September, 2013 for a fee of €91 million.
The Welsh winger won two Champions League trophies with los Blancos (2013/2014, 2015/2016) and, speaking of his international career, he made it to the European Championship finals with Wales. The Welsh ace scored three goals at the showpiece tournament in France as the Dragons reached the semi-final.
Highlighted Team (Albania):
The Albanian national football team has represented the country on international stage since 1946, and it is interesting to note that Albania was one of the founding members of UEFA back in 1954. The Eagles have enjoyed very little success in the 20th century, but they managed to show some improvement at the turn of the century and eventually secured their first ever appearance at a major tournament.
Albania qualified for the Euro 2016 finals as they came second in their qualifying group behind Portugal, taking 14 points from 8 matches, with Italian coach Gianni De Biasi at the helm. The Eagles have never qualified for the World Cup finals in 11 attempts, winning mere 14 of 94 World Cup qualifiers.
Former Lazio defender Lorik Cana has worn the captain’s armband over the last few years and he is Albania’s most capped player, while former Chievo forward Erjon Bogdani still holds the record for most goals for the national team, with 18 strikes in 74 appearances.
