ENGLAND VS ALBANIA – Fri 21 Mar, 19:45
Harry Kane is in scintillating goal scoring form for Bayern Munich this season, having scored a total of 31 goals across the Bundesliga and the Champions League. He has scored 17 goals in 14 World Cup qualifying appearances and scored a hat trick in both his last two qualifying appearances, scoring three goals against Albania and four goals against San Marino.
He will also be on penalty duty for England which further boosts the chances of him getting on the scoresheet.
England have kept 16 clean sheets in their last 21 World Cup qualifying games. They have kept a clean sheet in five of their six meetings against Albania and have been defensively extremely solid.
Despite a change of manager, I expect them to be resolute at the back and prevent Albania from creating any clear-cut chances on Friday.
England have a phenomenal record of scoring in the 2nd half of games. They have scored 12 second half goals in just their last five games, including five second half goals in their last competitive fixture. They have also scored a second half goal in five of their six head-to-head meetings against Albania.
The visitors will likely put a lot of men behind the ball in the first half and will likely be tough to break down, but England's quality should show especially in the 2nd half, resulting in a few goals for the Three Lions.
