Israel - Albania

For the 2nd group of the XNUMXnd division of the Nations League, Israel welcomes Albania to the Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv. The group is completed by Iceland, the original fourth Russia has been excluded for the known reasons. The first of each group is promoted to the A' category while the last one is relegated to the C' category.

Israel's first and undefeated team after 3 matches, with a record of 1 win and 2 draws, is at the top of the standings with 5 points. In the June matches, they first conceded a 2-2 draw to Iceland in Tel Aviv, then achieved a great victory in Albania with 2-1, while in the third and final match they drew again with the same score against Iceland.
Thus, with 5 points, Israel is the unwavering favorite for first place in the group and promotion to the A' division, with a draw they will wait for the last match if Albania does not beat Israel.
The news of the week has to do with why the country's best player at the moment, Eran Zahavi, has been left out of the squad. In his maiden call with Alon Khazan at the "helm" he asked, as he had been doing for the last four years, exclusively for his own hotel room. Something like this was not accepted by Khazan, as a result of which the 35-year-old striker put himself out of his national team.

Albania's presence in just 2 matches in the group is problematic, in the premiere it was tied 1-1 in Iceland while in the next match it was defeated at home by Israel 2-1 and with only 1 point, he sees that the case of first place has become very difficult.
The only positive, however, is that she holds luck in her hands as with 2 wins in the same number of remaining matches she will definitely be first without depending on the other results.
And this goal alone does not leave the Albanian federation indifferent, which in order to give more motivation to the players ordered a high premium in case of victory in today's match.

An important match for the first place in the group. Israel looks in better condition and has the home advantage, Albania for its part will play everything for everything and whatever comes out. I expect a fast-paced match and many goals as both have quality from the middle and forward but defensively they hardly keep a clean sheet.

Tip: Israel – Albania Over 2,5 with odds of 2.20
