Scenarios: What are the chances that Albania will pass the group?
National players party with fans after the draw with Croatia

The match between Albania and Croatia has been described by the international media as one of the most beautiful matches of this European Championship.

Albania drew 2-2 against Croatia, thus taking a point and taking third place in Group B of the European Championship. The Reds leave behind the Croatians because of the better goal difference.

Albania's draw with Croatia was also a "gift" for Italy, which remains in second place and keeps the Croatians, the last opponents of Spalleti's team, below it.

In anticipation of the match between the two contenders for winning the European Championship, Italy and Spain, on Thursday evening, everyone has started to calculate how Albania can qualify.

To get the second place in the group is very difficult because in addition to the victory against Spain in the last match on June 24, Italy must lose deeply against Spain and Croatia must win minimally against Azur.

Complicated scenario. Therefore, Albania should aim to move on through the 4 best third places that will emerge from the 6 groups.

Currently, Albania holds the second place in the list of the third best countries, after Slovenia. However, Sylvinho's team has played one match more than the other teams and we will have to wait to see how the results will go in the other groups as well. It goes without saying that we would need a miracle against Spain.

A victory for the Reds and Blacks would qualify Albania. A draw with Spain would take us to the 2-point quota, but to stay in third place would require a draw or Italy win against Croatia. However, with 2 points it will be very difficult to go further and the goal difference will also be valued.
