There are eight European World Cup Qualifying shoot-out meetings this Thursday, one of which sees Poland hosting Albania in Warsaw. The winner of this game will face either Ukraine or Sweden.
Poland have the massive advantage of playing this sudden death fixture on home soil, they’ll not want to hold back and waste this opportunity. The last international break, back in November, was much more friendly to Poland, winning 3 goals to 2 away from home, meanwhile Albania couldn’t find the net, losing 0-2 on home soil.
It’s a very good sign that The White and Reds do very well when it comes to goalscoring, which will do wonders for their confidence, not failing to score in their last 14, even when facing very difficult opponents such as Croatia and Portugal. This could be a good opportunity for someone like Matty Cash, who typically takes lots of shots for his nation, especially from range.
The away side often do very well in frustrating their opposition and keeping the scoreline down. However, it is much more of a task away from home and when facing teams of better quality like Poland, such as Serbia and Latvia, where they have given away more chances.

Our Poland vs Albania Prediction
Right behind Poland’s long-loved striker Lewandowski, Matty Cash is next in line for the most shots produced in the World Cup Qualifiers, averaging a very fine 3.34 shots per game.
In his last seven appearances for his nation, the winger has registered at least one shot on target in five, plus netting twice. He clearly takes on a more offensive role for Poland compared to his club, and is eager to contribute to their success.
We shouldn’t see anything different in this very important game, so bet on the Aston Villa man to register a shot on target.
Our Poland vs Albania Pick: Matty Cash 1+ Shots on Target.
