The Albania vs Finland head-to-head record, recent form and Group A context all frame this UEFA Nations League fixture on 12 November 2026, with every figure below correct as of 12 November 2026. Albania lead Group A with 9 points from four matches, built on three wins and one defeat, while Finland sit third in the same group on 7 points from four matches after two wins, one draw and one defeat. Because both positions come from the same Group A table, they are directly comparable.
Head-to-Head Record
The two nations have one recorded meeting, and it belongs to Finland: a 2-1 win over Albania on 3 October 2026 in this same competition. That single match is the whole of the recorded head-to-head archive between them, so the sample is a limited one — one Finland win, no draws, no Albania wins, three goals in total and an average of 3 goals per meeting. With so little direct history to draw on, recent form and the Group A standings carry most of the weight in this matchup.

Albania: Recent Form
Albania’s last six matches read W L W W L L, a 3-0-3 record with 8 goals scored and 5 conceded, an average of 1.33 goals for and 0.83 against, and 1.50 points per game. Two of those six were friendlies — the June defeats to Luxembourg and Israel — so the run should not be read as an unbroken sequence of competitive football. Within it, Albania opened with a 2-1 home win over San Marino on 6 October 2026 before a 1-2 loss in Finland on 3 October 2026. They have kept two clean sheets and failed to score twice across the six.
