Starting from the return of Berisha in goal to Balliu's reinstatement in the right-back position and possibly the activation of Kumbulla in the center, Silvinho is aware that he won't have much time to assess both players in action.
In midfield, there are also anticipated adjustments, with Muça likely to replace Bajrami based on the latest training session, indicating a potential rotation as long as Silvinho remains at the helm of the team.
The forward line is also expected to undergo major changes, as the coach will try out Broja as a starter alongside Hoxha. Both players are vying for a spot in the European Championship squad and will have the opportunity to showcase their abilities against the Scandinavian opponents.
It's a different Albania in terms of names compared to the match against Chile held on March 22, 2024, and it's expected to be different in performance as well, considering the lackluster display the red and blacks offered on the field last Friday.
The changes in the lineup reflect Silvinho's determination to find the right balance and effectiveness within the team, as Albania aims to bounce back from recent setbacks and put on a strong performance against Sweden. With new faces and strategies in place, fans eagerly await to see the outcome of these adjustments on the pitch.
