Italy will welcome back midfielder Barella, who will partner with Jorginho at the back, while Pellegrini will play on the left side. The centerpiece of Albania's attack will be center forward Broya, who will lead the team's offensive line.

Albania (433):
Goalkeeper: Berisha Defenders: Hissaj, Ismaili, Ghimshiti, Mittai Midfielders: Asrani, Ramadani, Bajrami Forwards: Asani, Broya, Seferi
Italy will try to open the group stage under the leadership of manager Roberto Mancini. Barella's comeback will add more vitality and creativity to Italy's midfield, while the cooperation of attackers such as Pellegrini and Chiesa Jr. will be an important reliance for Italy's offense.
On the Albanian side, their defensive core, Gimcitti, will have to face the strong impact of the Italian front line. On the offensive side, Broya as the center will be the main scoring point for Albania, and his performance will directly affect the team's offensive effect.
This match will be the first appearance of both teams in this year's Eurocup, and fans are looking forward to this intense matchup. It will be interesting to see if Italy can win in the first round and if Albania can create a surprise.
