A game to be not lost for both national teams. Croatia lost in the 1st game against Spain 3-0, without much history. Probably a sign of decline since in last 5 official games lost the same as in previous 29.
The mens of coach Dalic, however produced some chances and a good rythm of play but this reaction wasn't enough.
For today maybe we should see some changes as Croatia will probably attack from very early. Gvardiol and Pasalic or Susic will likely start with Brozovic starting from the bench. Veteran st Ivan Perisic is still out.
Albania in other hand is the weakest team on paper in this group. They lack experience but still have good quality with players coming from Serie A. Against Italy they scored after a few seconds but then failed to keep the ball and closing in defense. Probably that goal come in wrong moment for them.
Coach Sylvinho should change something in defense, especially Hysaj who was the worst player for Albania.
Also talented st Hoxha should start from the 1st minute.
With a lost both teams will be eleminated, Croatia is superior but Albania can make the surprise today. They traditionally plays good against this kind of opponents who leave spaces.
Probable lineups:
Croatia (4-3-3):Livakovic; Stanisic, Sutalo, Gvardiol, Sosa; Modric, Sucic, Kovacic; Majer, Budimir, Kramaric
Albania (4-3-3):Strakosha; Hysaj, Ismajli, Djimsiti, Mitaj; Asllani, Ramadani, Hoxha, Bajrami, Asani; Broja.

该文章通过有道机器翻译，仅供参考:两支国家队都不能输掉这场比赛。克罗地亚在第一场比赛中0 - 3输给了西班牙，没有什么历史。这可能是下滑的迹象，因为最近5场正式比赛的输球和前29场一样多。
然而，教练达利奇的球员创造了一些机会和良好的比赛节奏，但这种反应还不够。
今天我们可能会看到一些变化，克罗地亚很可能会从一开始就进攻。格瓦迪奥和帕萨利奇或者苏西奇可能会首发，而布罗佐维奇则是替补。老将佩里西奇仍然不能上场。
另一方面，阿尔巴尼亚是这个小组中最弱的球队。他们缺乏经验，但仍然有来自意甲联赛的球员，他们在对阵意大利的比赛中几秒钟就取得了进球，但随后未能控制住球，并在防守中逼抢。也许那个进球对他们来说来得不是时候。
主教练西尔维尼奥应该在防守上有所改变，尤其是在阿尔巴尼亚队表现最差的希萨伊。
同样有天赋的圣霍查应该从第一分钟开始。
输球后两队都将被淘汰，克罗地亚队更胜一筹，但阿尔巴尼亚队今天可能会出其不意。传统上，他们在对付这种留下空间的对手时打得很好。
可能的阵容:
克罗地亚(4-3-3):Livakovic;Stanisic, Sutalo, Gvardiol, Sosa;莫德里奇、苏西奇、科瓦契奇;Majer, Budimir, Kramaric
阿尔巴尼亚(4-3-3):Strakosha;Hysaj, Ismajli, Djimsiti, Mitaj;阿斯拉尼、拉马达尼、霍查、巴杰拉米、阿萨尼;Broja。
