Football Bet of the Day: Spain to reign in Albania

Albania v Spain
Sunday 19:45 (Live on Sky Sports 3)

Just as we hoped, the Jets failed to take off in Newcastle this morning. 1-1 our hosts drew with Adelaide and that's enough for us to leave Australia on a high.

We finish the week back in Europe. Remember how resilient Albania were in France over the summer? They conceded just three times in their three group games, all of which finished with Under 2.5 Goals.

In fact, it's now 24 competitive games (home and away) and almost exactly five years since Gianni Di Biasi's men conceded more than twice in a single match. They've won each of their first two games in Group G and should be confident of giving Spain a good game later today.

Since winning Euro 2012, Spain have scored more than twice in only 2/10 away qualifiers - and the rare gluts came against seriously weak opponents (Belarus and Luxembourg).

At the other end, they've notched clean sheets themselves in 8/10, and that's why we fancy them to secure a narrow win to nil at Loro Borici Stadium this evening.
