2026-2027 Nations League: San Marino vs. Albania, Probable Lineups

San Marino and Albania face off at 8:45 p.m. in a match counting toward the second matchday of Group 1 in League B of the 2026-2027 Nations League. The Titans suffered a decisive 7-0 loss to Finland in their home opener and will look to bounce back in front of their home crowd against the Balkan Eagles, who defeated Belarus 2-0 in Tirana in their debut.

Nanni and Giacopetti could form San Marino’s attacking duo, as the team will be without the suspended Golinucci, who was sent off against Finland. Zannoni will play in the attacking midfield.

After the victory over Belarus, Rolando Maran may stick with the front three of Bajrami, Broja, and Uzuni, but watch for lineup changes. In midfield, Asllani will play alongside Ramadani and Laci.

San Marino (3-4-1-2): Colombo; Fabbri, Pasolini, Cevoli; Tosi, Capicchioni, Meloni, Mularoni; Zannoni; Giacopetti, Nanni. Head Coach: Cevoli.

“Games have to be played; they must be approached with seriousness, with great respect for the opponent, and with great respect for our fans, so I believe this is the right mindset with which to approach the match. Rotation? Given how close our matches are scheduled, I’ll decide now. I’ll definitely make some changes. I’ll take these last few hours to decide, but we’ll definitely make a few changes,” said Rolando Maran ahead of the match against San Marino.
