Midfielder Ryan Fenech (groin) and Montenegrin striker Bojan Kaljevic (ankle) are still on the casualty list but otherwise Balzan coach Oliver Spiteri has no selection issues. Steve Bezzina (right) is expected to return for the Reds after recovering from a foot injury.

Swedish defender Billy Berntsson is struggling with a groin problem.
