Beating England at home in a tournament qualifier, whether European or World Cup, is an extremely difficult mission. In fact, to find their last defeat we have to go back 18 years, in fact in 2007 and it was a European qualifier.
The last time England and Albania met at Wembley ended 5-0, which was without a "refrain" and history, given that the "Three Lions" managed to score all the goals in the first 45 minutes and many of those protagonists are expected to still start in this challenge, on Friday. It was a World Cup qualifier and it will be the same this time.
In the World Cup qualifiers, England have so far collected 28 consecutive matches without defeat at home, and their last defeat dates back to 2000, against Germany. 25 wins and only 3 draws (against Hungary, Ukraine and Greece). So, 25 years without defeat!
In terms of European qualifiers, England are on a 17-match unbeaten home run, with 15 wins and just 2 draws. They have scored 58 goals in total and conceded just 7, with 3 coming against Kosovo at Wembley. Their last defeat came in 2007 against Croatia, where they lost 2-3.
