Israel
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Kosovo
Israel take on Kosovo at Bloomfield Stadium in the opening match of their EURO 2024 qualifying campaign. Israel did well to win the Nations League Group 2 (League B), and, no doubt, they are high on spirits ahead of their EURO 2024 opener. One of the men to watch in the home team will be Shon Weissman, who joined Segunda Division side Granada in the January transfer window.
The Kosovars, on the other hand, outclassed Cyprus 5-1 in their last competitive match, but beating Israel in Tel-Aviv is easier said than done. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Israel defenders should have Mallorca attacker Vedat Muriqi at bay, with Galatasaray winger Milot Rashica likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line as well.
Highlighted Player (Milot Rashica):
Milot Rashica is a Kosovo Albanian player who was born on June 28, 1996 in Vucitrn, FR Yugoslavia. Rashica is a product of FC Vushtrria football academy and he continued playing for the Ferki Aliu Stadium outfit at senior level.
Milot Rashica is a winger, but he is used as an attacking midfielder as well and it has to be noted that his preferred foot is right. Nowadays, the Albanian footballer plays for Vitesse in Dutch Eredivisie and he has established himself as a first-team regular at the club.
Milot Rashica made his Vitesse debut on July 30, 2015, coming as a substitute for Serbia international Uros Djurdjevic in a 3-0 defeat to Southampton in the Europa League qualifiers. Speaking of his Eredivisie debut, Rashica played his first match for Vitesse in the Dutch elite division on August 9, 2015 in a 1-1 draw with Willem II. The Vitesse footballer has six caps for Albania U21 team, but he represents Kosovo at senior level.
Highlighted Team (Israel):
Israel are the direct successor of the Mandatory Palestine national football team. The Israelis received full UEFA membership in 1994, 20 years after leaving AFC and they have been facing European sides in the World Cup qualifiers ever since. Israel participated at the 1970 FIFA World Cup finals in Mexico, but they failed to make it to the knockout stages of the showpiece tournament.
The Israeli national football team have yet to qualify for the final stages of the European Championship, but they made it to the quarter-finals of the Olympics on two occasions (1968, 1976). Israel play their home games at both Sammy Ofer Stadium in Haifa and Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem.
Yossi Benayoun is the most famous and the most capped Israeli footballer and it has to be noted that the pacey midfielder played for the likes of Racing Santander, West Ham United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in the past. Israel play their home games in blue shirts and blue shorts, whilst they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
