Albania Overview

Poland lost only one of their eight 2026 World Cup qualifiers at the group stage. Albania scored just seven goals in their eight qualifying matches, as well.

Italy are among the teams involved in the World Cup play-offs this week. With the stakes so high, is betting on few goals the smart approach?

So far, 42 teams have qualified for next year’s World Cup. Six more will join them, and four of those will come from Europe, but which ones?

Ian Wright has hit back at critics of England superstar Jude Bellingham, with the Real Madrid midfielder facing more questions of his supposedly petulant behaviour. The 22-year-old was less than impressed at being replaced during the Three Lions’ final 2026 World Cup qualifier against Albania. Thomas Tuchel has made it clear that he wants everybody in his squad to show “respect” at all times.
