Bogdan Stancu, the first Romanian player to score twice at a European Championship by netting in their first two group games, moves from the centre to the left of midfield with Adrian Popa coming in on the other side of the recalled Nicolae Stanciu.

Ovidiu Hoban replaces Mihai Pintilii as one of the two central midfielders in a 4-2-3-1 formation while Alexandru Matel fills the left back slot instead of Razvan Rat.

Albania have made one change to the team beaten 2-0 by France, with Migjen Basha replacing Burim Kukeli in a five-man midfield which forms part of Italian coach Gianni De Biasi's conservative 4-5-1 formation.
