The game, part of the 2026 World Cup Qualifying Group Stage, saw Serbia controlling more of the ball with 56.4% possession compared to Albania's 43.6%. However, Albania managed more shots, with 10 in total, 4 of which were on target, while Serbia had 8 shots, only 2 hitting the target.

The game, characterized by a tactical stalemate, showcased Albania in a 4-2-3-1 formation and Serbia in a 3-4-1-2. The AI's pre-game prediction favored an Albania win, but the draw suggests the prediction was inaccurate, perhaps overestimating Albania's home advantage or underestimating Serbia's defensive capabilities. The AI did not expect a balanced game.
Considering the team rates, with Albania at 0.377 and Serbia at 0.555, Serbia was considered the slightly stronger team before the match. This is also reflected in the pre-game win probabilities, with Albania at 39.4%, Serbia at 32.7%, and a draw at 27.9%. Although the AI favored Albania to win, the draw probability was relatively high.
Looking at Albania's recent form, they've been somewhat inconsistent, with a win against Andorra, a loss against England, and mixed results in the UEFA Nations League, including a win against Georgia, a loss against Ukraine and a draw against Czech Republic. Serbia's form also shows inconsistency, with a recent win against Austria, but prior to that, multiple draws in the UEFA Nations League and a loss against Spain.
In their previous head-to-head match in 2015, Serbia won 2-0. Considering both teams' recent form and the historical head-to-head, the draw in this qualifying match signifies a tighter contest. While Serbia may have been slightly favored based on team rate, Albania's determined defense and ability to generate more shots ultimately contributed to securing a point. The upcoming matches will be crucial for both teams to solidify their position in the group.
