Preview
Spain head into this after a 1-0 win over Sweden in their last WC Qualifier match in November to ensure they book their spot in the WC 2022.
Morata scored four minutes from time to ensure a 6th win of the campaign and qualification with Spain finishing as table toppers with 19 points from 8 matches.
On the other hand, Albania beat Andorra 1-0 in their last match but it wasn’t enough for them to stay alive in the qualification as they finished 3rd in their group.
Cekici scored the goal which made the difference as Albania finished with 18 points and missed out.
The visitors now prepare for their UEFA Nations League campaign set to start in June and would look to take some confidence into that tournament.
Both sides last met in October 2017 during the WC Qualifiers, where Spain won 3-0.

Spain is far too good a side and have enough quality in the bank to gain a positive result.
Albania’s run of form has been inconsistent despite a decent WCQ campaign but will find the hosts too much to handle.
