Euro 2024, Croatia-Albania: the probable formations

Croatia-Albania, the probable formations

Croatia and Albania will open Euro 2024 Wednesday in Germany. Kickoff at 3 p.m. at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg. After their respective defeats in the opener against Spain and Italy, it is already an in-or-out match for both teams, as another defeat would most likely mean an early goodbye to their hopes of passing the round.

Dalic is expected to make a few changes from the 11'11; that took the field with the Red Furies. In attack, space for the trident consisting of Majer, Petkovic and Kramaric. In midfield, the trio of Modric, Brozovic and Kovacic is confirmed. In defense, the surprise should be Perisic as left-back.

Sylvinho, on the other hand, should rely on Broja as the lone striker, with Bajrami, Asani and Hoxha acting as trequartists. In the median, trust Asllani and Ramadani.

Probable lineups

CROATIA (4-3-3): Livakovic; Stanisic, Sutalo, Gvardiol, Perisic; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Majer, Petkovic, Kramaric. Ct. Dalic

ALBANIA (4-2-3-1): Strakosha; Hysaj, Ismailj, Djimsiti, Mitaj; Asllani, Ramadani; Asani, Bajrami, Hoxha; Broja. Ct. Sylvinho
