- Albania have never reached a major tournament, and the world’s 68th‑ranked side face a serious uphill battle over two legs against Wales, especially having lost both of their most recent meetings with the Welsh.
- Even so, Albania did collect seven points from their six Group 1 games and come into this play‑off semi‑final boosted by a 5–2 home win over Montenegro. They’re 16/1 with William Hill to defy the odds in Friday’s first leg.
- Wales are heavy favourites to progress, and it’s not hard to see why. They’re unbeaten in eight matches (W5, D3), a run that includes those two victories over Albania, and they too are chasing a first‑ever appearance at a major tournament.
- Should Wales advance, they’ll meet either Norway, managed by former Wales boss Gemma Grainger, or Romania in the play‑off final, but they won’t look past this tie. They’re 1/8 odds‑on with William Hill to take control in the opening leg.
