The absence of Marash Kumbulla and Berat Djimsiti meant Sylvinho used the central defensive pairing of Ardian Ismajli and Arlind Ajeti in the last game, and could continue with that option. If Lazio captain Elseid Hysaj starts, he will play behind the midfield, with Ylber Ramadani and Kristjan Asllani providing the organisation.

For Ukraine, goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is unable to play, leaving Anatoliy Trubin from Benfica in goal. The visitors are also without Viktor Tsygankov and the trio of Vitaliy Buyalskyi, Andriy Yarmolenko, Oleksandr Pikhalyonok from Dynamo Kyiv.

Ukraine's attack will be led by Artem Dovbyk, with Mykhaylo Mudryk supporting. Despite playing little in the Premier League this season, Mudryk is still trusted for his ability to break through.

Albania:

Strakosha; Hysaj, Ismajli, Ajeti, Mitaj; Asllani, Ramadani; Asani, Bajrami, Uzuni; Tuci
