Spain, already confirmed as Euro 2024 Group B winners, will face Albania at the Merkur Spiel-Arena on Monday night. While Spain is secure in their position, Albania still has a shot at last-16 qualification.

Spain ensured their place in the knockout rounds with a 1-0 victory over reigning champions Italy. Meanwhile, Albania currently sits third in the group after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Croatia.

In a thrilling encounter against Croatia, Albania midfielder Klaus Gjasula experienced a rollercoaster of emotions. Initially seen as a villain for an own goal, Gjasula redeemed himself by scoring a dramatic equalizer in the 95th minute. This late goal kept Albania's hopes alive, allowing them to aim for their first-ever knockout appearance at a major tournament. Currently, they are third, tied on points but ahead of Croatia on goal difference. Albania will need to defeat Spain and hope Croatia does not beat Italy by more than two goals to finish second. Alternatively, they might qualify as one of the four best third-placed teams.

Spain, on the other hand, has been dominant throughout the tournament. After a resounding 3-0 win over Croatia, they defeated Italy 1-0, with Riccardo Calafiori's own goal securing their victory. Spain has thus far scored four goals and conceded none, underlining their status as serious contenders for the title. With top spot in the group assured, they will face one of the best third-placed sides from Groups A, D, E, or F in the last-16 round. Spain has a perfect record against Albania, winning all eight of their previous encounters.

Albania will need to be cautious as five players—Armando Broja, Gjasula, Elseid Hysaj, Arber Hoxha, and Mirlind Daku—are one booking away from suspension. However, coach Sylvinho is likely to field his strongest team, given the stakes. Albania has no injury concerns, and Gjasula's performance against Croatia might earn him a starting spot. Rey Manaj is expected to lead the attack over Chelsea's Armando Broja.

Spain will be making several changes with top spot already secured. Midfield enforcer Rodri is suspended after accumulating two yellow cards. Additionally, Nacho and Ayoze Perez are doubtful due to muscle and hamstring issues, respectively. Coach Luis de la Fuente is expected to give opportunities to several squad players, including Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Oyarzabal, Mikel Merino, Ferran Torres, Alejandro Grimaldo, Jesus Navas, and potentially goalkeeper David Raya.

Despite Albania's determined performances against Italy and Croatia, Spain's depth and quality should see them through comfortably. Even with a rotated squad, Spain is expected to be too strong for Albania. Spain's ability to maintain their form with a potentially second-string lineup will likely prove decisive, ending Albania's journey in the tournament.

西班牙队已被确定为2024年欧洲杯B组冠军，他们将于周一晚上在Merkur Spiel-Arena迎战阿尔巴尼亚队。虽然西班牙的位置很稳固，但阿尔巴尼亚仍然有机会进入16强。

西班牙队以1比0战胜卫冕冠军意大利队，确保了淘汰赛的席位。与此同时，阿尔巴尼亚在2-2战平克罗地亚后，目前排名小组第三。

在与克罗地亚的一场惊心动魄的比赛中，阿尔巴尼亚中场球员克劳斯·加苏拉经历了一次情绪的过山车。由于乌龙球，Gjasula最初被视为恶棍，但在第95分钟，他戏剧性地扳平了比分。这个最后时刻的进球让阿尔巴尼亚保持了希望，使他们的目标是在重大赛事中首次进入淘汰赛。目前，他们以积分并列第三，但净胜球领先克罗地亚。阿尔巴尼亚需要击败西班牙，并希望克罗地亚不要以两球以上的优势击败意大利，才能获得第二名。或者，他们可能会成为四支最好的第三名球队之一。

另一方面，西班牙在整个比赛中一直占据统治地位。在3-0大胜克罗地亚之后，他们又以1-0击败意大利，里卡多·卡拉菲奥里的乌龙球确保了他们的胜利。到目前为止，西班牙队打进4球，一球未失，这表明他们是冠军的有力竞争者。在确保小组头名的情况下，他们将在16强中面对A、D、E或F组中排名第三的最佳球队之一。西班牙对阿尔巴尼亚有着完美的战绩，在之前的8场比赛中全部获胜。

阿尔巴尼亚需要谨慎，因为五名球员——阿曼多·布罗贾、加苏拉、埃尔希德·希萨伊、阿尔伯·霍查和米林德·达库离停赛只差一张黄牌。然而，考虑到利害关系，主教练西尔维尼奥可能会派出他最强的阵容。阿尔巴尼亚没有伤病问题，加苏拉在对阵克罗地亚的比赛中可能会获得首发位置。雷伊·马纳伊有望取代切尔西的阿曼多·布罗哈领导进攻。

西班牙已经稳居榜首，将做出一些改变。中场球员罗德里在累积两张黄牌后被禁赛。此外，纳乔和阿约兹·佩雷斯分别因为肌肉和腿筋的问题而难以确定。主教练路易斯·德拉富恩特预计会给几名球员机会，包括马丁·祖比门迪、米克尔·奥亚扎巴尔、米克尔·梅里诺、费兰·托雷斯、亚历桑德罗·格里马尔多、赫苏斯·纳瓦斯，以及潜在的门将大卫·拉亚。

尽管阿尔巴尼亚在对阵意大利和克罗地亚的比赛中表现坚定，但西班牙的阵容深度和实力应该能让他们轻松过关。即使是轮换阵容，西班牙对阿尔巴尼亚来说也太强大了。西班牙队凭借潜在的二线阵容保持状态的能力可能会起到决定性作用，结束阿尔巴尼亚队的比赛之旅。
