Despite fielding a B team, Spain has more than enough firepower to kill off Albania tonight. Losing a game to Albania (potentially kicking Italy & Croatia out via goal difference) in their 3rd game of Euro will distrupt their team form & winning momentum. This is unfair to the first team players who will be rested against the easiest opponent on paper. Note that Spain has a 100% winning record against Albania.
The spectacular 3-0 display against Croatia and 20 shots fired at reigning champion Italy showed that Spain fears no one in Euro. So far, they are clearly the best performing team. In addition, the Euro/WC trophy-lifting Spanish team in 2008, 2010 & 2012 saw them winning all their final group games (100%) by 1 goal difference.
In upcoming first match of R16 knockout, runners up of Group B tonight will face off with Switzerland (Group A runners up), a team that won Spain twice & drew 3 times out of 7 meetings (90mins play) since 2010. My view is that Spain will release a beaten predator like Italy/Croatia to help them get rid of Switzerland & other superpower rivals, tiring them out in the process. There will be no conspiracy, no drama, no surprise later.
Prediction:
Spain 1-0 2-1 Albania
Spain to win
