Albania will face Italy tonight at 20:45 at the "AIR Albania" stadium in a friendly match.
From the group called by coach Edy Reja, Kristal Abazaj seems to have failed to be ready for the first duel. The national team has been completed with the rest of the players, who were absent due to commitments with their clubs, and yesterday afternoon, the coach was able to conduct a training session with the team to prepare tactically for the duel against the Blues.
As for the starters who will be on the field, as he confirmed in the press conference, Edi Reja will play with the 3-5-2 scheme.
Etrit Berisha has been placed in goal, and Ismajli, Kumbulla and Mihaj will be placed in front of him in the defense department, while Elseid Hysaj and Ermir Lenjani will cover the wings.
With some returns in the midfield, the Italian will have to leave Kristjan Asllan and Ylber Ramadani on the bench, while Keidi Bare, Amir Abrashi and Nedim Bajrami will start from the first minute. While the attack will be formed by the duo Broja-Uzuni, reports Panorama Sport.
Meanwhile, the Italian coach, Roberto Mancini, is thought not to spare the stars on the field this evening. It is expected that Italy will play with this formation: Donaruma in goal, Skalvini, Bonucci and Bastoni in defense.
On the wings Di Lorenzo and Di Marco, while in the center the trio Verati-Tonali-Barela, while in front Zaniolo and Raspadori, or Grifo.
