AI preview
Kosovo and Israel face each other in the UEFA Nations League with the hosts holding a superior recent record and a stronger standing in the group table.
Recent form
Kosovo has navigated their recent schedule with two wins, two draws, and two losses, showing resilience by remaining unbeaten since their September trip to Austria. Their recent UEFA Nations League outings include a goalless draw against this opponent and a hard-fought draw at home with Austria. Israel has struggled for consistency, managing only one win in their last six matches across all competitions. Their recent form includes a pair of draws against Kosovo and the Republic of Ireland, but they have found goals difficult to come by, scoring only five times while conceding nine in that same span. Both teams have experienced a significant break in play since their last competitive matches in early October.
Previous meetings
The history between these two sides is limited, with Kosovo holding the edge. Kosovo won the most recent competitive meeting on their own turf, while the other two encounters, including their clash in October, have ended in draws.
Key factors
- Kosovo sits second in the group table, four points clear of fourth-placed Israel.
- Kosovo has maintained clean sheets in three of their last six matches.
- Israel has struggled to start quickly, conceding six goals in the first half across their recent matches.
- Kosovo averages more shots per match than Israel, while opponents create fewer chances against them.
- The most recent encounter between the two nations ended in a stalemate.
What to expect
Kosovo enters this fixture with a more stable defensive record and a higher placement in the group standings. While Israel will look to improve on their recent goal-scoring form, they face a side that has proved difficult to beat in recent months. A competitive encounter is anticipated, though the overall form suggests that Kosovo may hold the edge in this matchup.
