Italy vs Albania on Saturday, June 15 will be the second game in Group B at Euro 2024 and it promises to be a cracker. The defending champions haven’t always convinced since winning their second European crown three years ago, so the Red and Blacks – who topped their qualifying group – will fancy an upset.
Italy may be defending European champions but it’s been an inconsistent three years for the Azzurri. Having failed to qualify for a second successive World Cup in 2022, Italy replaced boss Roberto Mancini with Luciano Spalletti, and there’s been some improvement. Group runners-up to England, they qualified comfortably and are defensively excellent, having conceded once in their last five internationals.
Albania may not be the biggest name, but they topped their qualifying group ahead of Czechia and Poland, beating the latter 3-0 and the former 2-0. Coached by former Arsenal and Barcelona full-back Sylvinho, they benefit from Swiss-born center-back Berat Djimsiti and box-to-box midfielder Kristjan Asllani.
