Spain is showing the class of a top candidate for the Euro 2024 championship. They beat Croatia 3-0 and Italy 1-0 in a match where coach Luis De La Fuenta's team completely controlled the game and knew how to choose the right time to finish off their opponents.
The situation in Group B of Euro 2024 is unpredictable, but Spain has completed the goal with 6 points in 2 matches. They also officially advanced with a convincing top position and saved energy before the round of 16.

In the 1-0 win over Italy, Spain only scored the only goal after Calafiori scored an own goal. However, that was a match where La Furia Roja showed overwhelming, beautiful play, controlled the game completely and only Donnarumma's talent helped Italy avoid a heavy defeat.
Albania impressed at Euro 2024 in a different way, entering the tournament as the weakest team in Group B. They only lost 1-2 to defending champions Italy in a balanced and attacking game.
Against Croatia, who were more experienced and trailing 2-1, Albania still fought hard. Klaus Gjasula scored the equalizer at the end of the match to make it 2-2 and help the Eastern European representative to keep alive the hope of making history in the final match against Spain.
Coach Sylvinho will not make many changes to the Albanian squad that has impressed in the opening two matches of Euro 2024. Djimsiti plays a key role in the centre of defence and Albania will wait for counter-attack opportunities thanks to the speed of Asani, Bajrami and Manaj in attack.

Spain will be without key midfielder Rodri due to suspension. But this is an opportunity for the Man City star to "clean up" his suspension and rest up for the upcoming stressful period at Euro 2024.
Not only Rodri, Spain will almost use the entire reserve squad when Willams, Yamal or Fabian Ruiz are rested. Merino, Zubimendi, Baena will take on the midfield duties while the expectation of scoring will be placed on the shoulders of Ferran Torres, Joselu, Oyarzabal.
Despite only using the second team, Spain is still rated higher than Albania in terms of squad quality and coach De La Fuenta's team has a good chance of winning the group stage. However, Albania is not an easy opponent to bully and they are ready to create a shock to make history at Euro 2024.
Expected lineup:
Albania : Strakosha; Hysaj, Ajeti, Djimsiti, Mitaj; Asllani, Ramadani; Asani, Laci, Bajrami; Manaj
Spain : Raya; Navas, Vivian, Laporte, Grimaldo; Merino, Zubimendi, Baena; Ferran Torres, Joselu, Oyarzabal
