Recent form

Albania

Albania's recent form has been mixed, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches. The team have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only three goals in these games, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per match. Defensively, they have been somewhat more solid, conceding five goals and keeping two clean sheets. Notably, Albania have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Their most impressive result came in a 2-1 away victory against Ukraine in the UEFA Nations League, while their most recent outing ended in a goalless draw with Czechia. Despite their offensive challenges, Albania have shown resilience in tight contests, with five of their last six matches being decided by a single goal or ending in a draw.

Ukraine

Ukraine's recent form has been mixed, with a notable lack of victories in their last six matches. The team have managed only one win, against Georgia, whilst drawing three times and suffering two losses. Defensively, Ukraine have struggled, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game and keeping just two clean sheets in this period. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, with an average of one goal per match. The highest-scoring game in this run was the 3-2 defeat to Czechia, which bucked the trend of generally low-scoring affairs, as 67% of their matches saw under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams scored in two-thirds of Ukraine's recent games, suggesting their matches have been competitive despite the lack of wins. Ukraine's current streak of three matches without a loss (DDWD) shows some signs of improvement, though they'll be keen to convert more of these draws into victories to boost their standing in the UEFA Nations League.

Recent home/away form

Albania

Albania's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Red and Blacks have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, failing to score in four of their last six home fixtures. Despite this, they've managed to keep two clean sheets during this period. Interestingly, Albania's goal-scoring woes seem to be a recent development, as they netted six goals in their two victories, both coming in friendly matches against Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein. The team's defensive record has been somewhat erratic, conceding three goals in a heavy defeat to Chile, but then keeping clean sheets against stronger opponents like Czechia. Albania's home form suggests they are more competitive in friendlies but struggle in competitive fixtures, with their last three UEFA-sanctioned home matches all ending in defeat or a draw.

Ukraine

Ukraine's recent away form has been inconsistent, with a mixed bag of results in their last six matches. The team have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet in this period. However, they've shown some attacking prowess, scoring an impressive 10 goals across these fixtures, averaging 1.67 goals per game. Notably, Ukraine's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net in two-thirds of the encounters. Their 4-0 victory against Moldova stands out as a particularly impressive result, demonstrating their potential for dominant performances. Despite this, Ukraine have failed to string together consecutive wins in their recent away fixtures, alternating between victories, draws, and losses, which suggests a lack of consistency in their performances on the road.
