Albania are without 9 — Qazim Laçi (Out), Armando Broja (Out), Thomas Strakosha (Out), Jasir Asani (Out), Arlind Ajeti (Out), Iván Balliu (Out). Losing Qazim Laçi and Armando Broja and Thomas Strakosha is the kind of absence that moves a price.

Albania lean hardest on Rey Manaj (9.5), Berat Djimsiti (9.3), Ernest Muci (9.3) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.
Alen Sherri is out for Albania — index 6.4, against 8.9 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.
San Marino lean hardest on Edoardo Colombo (9.5), Michele Cevoli (9.2), Nicola Nanni (9.2) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.
The read: Albania at 1.04 is short enough that the value, if there is any, sits on the handicap or in the goals market rather than the outright. The late money is pointing the same way.
