Albania vs England Prediction: Three Lions to finish with 100% record

England will close out their World Cup qualifying campaign with a trip to face Group K runners-up Albania at Arena Kombetare (17:00, live on ITV).

Thomas Tuchel's side are aiming to round off their qualifying section with eight wins from eight, while Albania's midweek triumph over Andorra confirmed a play-off place. Read on for my Albania vs England predictions, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Sylvinho is expected to name the same XI that got the job done against Andorra, which would see Thomas Strakosha start between the sticks, shielded by a back four of Elseid Hysaj, Berat Djimsiti, Arlind Ajeti and Mario Mitaj.

Qazim Laci, Kristjan Asllani and Juljan Shehu will retain their places in the engine room, while Armando Broja and Arber Hoxha will support Rey Manaj in attack.

As for England, Marc Guehi, Anthony Gordon and Nick Pope will once again be absent, after all three withdrew from the squad prior to the win over Serbia.

The Three Lions emerged unscathed injury-wise from Thursday's win, and goalscorer Eberechi Eze could be handed a start on the left flank ahead of Marcus Rashford, while Jude Bellingham could be drafted in ahead of Morgan Rogers.

Harry Kane is expected to lead the line once again and the ever-present Jordan Pickford will start in goal.

Albania vs England Odds

The hosts are 15/2 to win on Sunday, while England are odds-on favourites at 2/5, giving them an implied win probability of 71.4%, and the draw is an 18/5 chance.

Unsurprisingly, Kane is favourite to score anytime at 5/6, followed by Rashford at 6/4.

England to win to nil @ 23/20

This bet is probably an obvious one to be honest, but given that all eight of Tuchel's victories across qualifiers and friendlies as England boss have come to nil , it's almost impossible to overlook here.

The Three Lions will be determined to finish their qualifying campaign off with eight wins and eight clean sheets.

The only blemish on Tuchel's record is a 3-1 friendly defeat to Senegal back in June at the City Ground, but a perfect qualification campaign would certainly help fans forget about that.

England to win both halves @ 21/10

Following on from my first fairly obvious tip, I'd thought I'd throw in a second - England to win both halves.

If you back England to win the game, you'd expect this pick to also land, but of course it's never a guarantee. However, this bet has landed in six of England's seven qualifying fixtures: 2-0 vs Serbia, 5-0 vs Latvia, 5-0 vs Serbia, 2-0 vs Andorra, 3-0 vs Latvia, and the 2-0 home win over Albania in March.

The Three Lions have been scoring consistently on either side of the interval too, with nine goals in the first half and 11 after the break.
