Pre-match comments:

Valdas Urbonas, coach of the Lithuanian team:

“After Friday’s game with Kazakhstan, we have to regain strength and prepare adequately for tomorrow’s game. We are aware that the Albanian team is a very capable team and is the favorite of this game, but we will try to find our chances and make everything possible to cause trouble for the hosts.

It seems that we will not avoid changes in the composition, because the first match with Kazakhstan required a lot of effort. The Albanian team is well balanced, has strong individual players and feels tactical discipline when watching their matches. The Albanian team doesn’t have many weak points, they are a really good team and feel the coach’s strong hand. “

Edoardo Reja, coach of the Albanian national team:

“It just came to our knowledge then. Lithuania plays well with the ball, they have fast side players. But I think my team will, however, have to make changes to the lineup. I will make very careful decisions about the composition. Forward Cikalleshi has problems. that will need to be replaced. As for the defense, she is not very tired of knowing that we have three midfielders, so there will be no changes here. I also have candidates in the safe who can escape in the game against Lithuania, but it is It is important to me that no one is injured. “
