Spain head into their final Euro 2024 Group B match against Albania as heavy favourites, having already secured top spot and a place in the knockout stages. But don't count out the plucky Albanians just yet - they still have a chance, albeit slim, of clinching a historic last 16 berth in their first ever European Championship.
Luis de la Fuente's La Roja have been in imperious form so far, scoring four unanswered goals across comfortable wins over Croatia and defending champions Italy. With the luxury of resting key players before the business end of the tournament begins, expect wholesale changes from the Spanish.
Albania, meanwhile, have left it all out on the pitch in their opening two games. An agonising last-gasp defeat to Italy was followed by a pulsating 2-2 draw with Croatia, thanks to substitute Klaus Gjasula's dramatic 90th minute equaliser.
But Sylvinho's men face an uphill battle to reach the promised land of the knockout stages. Not only do they likely need a victory over a Spain side 58 places above them in the world rankings, but other results must also go their way.
Working in Albania's favour is the fearless, attacking brand of football they've displayed so far in Germany. Scoring the fastest ever goal in European Championship history shows they won't be intimidated by the occasion or opposition.
Spain, though, are on a different level. Even their second string would be fancied to win this one. But with the shackles off and nothing to lose, don't be surprised if Albania empty the tank and give them an almighty scare.
One thing's for sure - with both sides gunning for goals and the electric atmosphere generated by the stadium full of fanatical Albanian support, this has all the makings of a Euro 2024 classic. Can Sylvinho's brave troops pull off a shock for the ages or will Spanish class ultimately prevail?
Albania v Spain Prediction
Although Albania will give it a good shot, we just don't think they will have the fire power to overcome Spain. We are going for a Albania 0 - 2 Spain victory for La Roja.
