Underestimate Albania at your peril, because the Group B underdogs aren't arriving in Germany just to make up the numbers, even if they are faced in the fabled 'Group of Death'. Only Georgia are lower in the FIFA Rankings than the Albanians, and they have been placed as the rank outsiders in the tournament down to who they are facing in the group stage. However, as they proved in qualifying, Albania are one tough nut to crack and have been built on a hugely solid defensive base - guided by a combination of some familiar Premier League faces in their coaching staff. Although the might of Spain, Italy and Croatia is a daunting task, it's one the Albanians will relish as they embark on only their second-ever major tournament appearance.
