Qualified for the 2nd time in its history for a Euro, Albania was not varnished in the draw by inheriting the group of death along with Italy, Croatia and Spain. However, she started very well in her first match by opening the score in the first minute of play against the Nazionale before finally being caught in the score then overtaking a quarter of an hour later to finally lose 2- 1. On Wednesday, the Rouge et Noir will have to redouble their efforts to try to take their first points against Croatia in order to stay alive in the race to qualify for the 1/8th finals and avoid early elimination like in 2016, during of their first participation.

They had also prepared very well for their entry into the competition by winning, during 2 preparation matches, against Liechtenstein 3-0 and Azerbaijan 3-1.

Spain, for its part, could well be one candidates to follow for the final victory in this Euro 2024.

Before going to Germany, La Roja was able to build confidence by defeating Andorra 5-0 and Northern Ireland 5-1, two fairly modest opponents.

On the Albanian side, the important striker Uzuni (Granada, 5 goals in 35 seasons) is injured and he was not selected for this Euro unlike many residents of Serie A. Among them, we can cite the playmaker Bajrami (Sassuolo, 5 goals in 24 seasons) who started the tournament with a bang by scoring in the first minute of play against Italy. THE defenders Hysaj (Lazio) and Djimsiti (Atalanta) or even midfielders Asllani (Inter) and Ramadani (Lecce) are also expected to start again in the starting 11 in the same way as goalkeeper Strakosha (Brentford) who has overtaken the most experienced Berisha (Empoli) in the hierarchy. In the offensive sector, we find the player belonging to Chelsea Broja (5 goals in 22 sel) as well as the top scorer of this team, Manaj, who has 8 goals with the selection. Uncertain against Italy after coming off in the first match against Croatia, the Captain Alvaro Morata could be reinstated.

La Roja is also hoping for the return of midfielder Rodri who seems to be struggling physically at the end of the season. Remember that the young Gavi (Barcelona) had to withdraw from this Euro and Cubarsi, Aleix Garcia or again Llorente paid the price for the coach's choices. While he is not always unanimous with PSG, Fabian Ruiz is a good starter in this team and he was even elected man of the match against Croatia. The excellent Pedri and the Lamine wingers Yamal and Nico Williams are also starters.
