JAKARTA - The third match or the group stage decider match in the Euro 2024 competition will bring together Albania and Spain. The two teams in Group B will meet at the Merkur Spiel-Arena Stadium, Germany on Tuesday, June 25 at 02.00 WIB.

Ahead of the meeting which was also the determinant, La Furia Roja's camp was ahead based on a record meeting. The Spanish national team has recorded a record 100 percent victory over Albania since 1986.

Before the match took place, the Spanish national team troops could breathe a sigh of relief. The reason is that they have certainly qualified as winners of Group B.

Albania, although not as special as Spain, still has a positive record even though they are actually the most seeded team in Group B. The team from the Balkans scored 1 draw, 1 loss, with 3 goals and 4 conceded.

Interestingly, Albania in the first two games has always been the first team to score. Albania was even recorded as the fastest team to score, when they broke into Italy in just 23 seconds.

In the 2nd match, Albania broke into Croatia's net in the 11th minute against Spain, practically a challenge for Albania to continue the shock as in the first 2 matches.

The situation engine is difficult, but the Albania national team still has a chance to qualify for the last 16 of Euro 2024 in two ways. First they can fight for Group B runners-up, or win third place and hope to qualify for the best third-placed team tickets.

To be able to seal the runner-up title, The Red and Blacks must be able to beat Spain, then in other matches Croatia won over Italy.

Even if Italy wins over Croatia, Albania still has a chance to qualify as the best third-placed team. The condition is that Albania's victory from Spain must also be picked up which makes them have to be better than the 3rd-placed team in other groups.

However, Albania's efforts to win and ensure a pass are also predicted not to be easy. The reason is, in the match later Spain could rely on an integrated backline.

La Furia Roja bisa menurunkan Nacho Fernandez, Marc Cucurella, Robin Le Normand, Aymeric Laporte, hingga Dani Carvajal, untuk menjaga gawang mereka. Faktor kunci lain ada pada sosok Unai Simon yang melakukan 7 penyelamatan di bawah gawang hingga saat ini.
