Prediction: 0-3
England
England will be looking to build on a 7-0 win over Montenegro when they take on Kosovo at Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri on Sunday afternoon. The Three Lions aim to cement top position in Group A, and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play against Kosovo. Harry Kane, who scored a hat-trick in the triumph over the Montenegrins, will be the man to keep an eye on in the away team.
Since the hosts have nothing to play for in their last group game, we believe that punters can find value in betting on Gareth Southgate’s troops. Kosovo suffered a 2-1 loss to Bulgaria on Thursday evening, and, as a result, their chances of qualifying for Euro 2020 are ruined. The hosts, who head into Sunday’s qualifier with the lack of motivation, are unlikely to make life difficult for the high-flying visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Bersant Celina):
After starting his youth career at Stromsgodset, Bersant Celina moved to Manchester City youth academy in 2012. Two years later the midfielder, who was born in FR Yugoslavia on September 9, 1996, signed a three-year professional contract with the Citizens, but he made no more than one appearance for the big-spending club in the Premier League.
Bersant Celina came as a substitute for David Silva in a 3-1 home loss to Leicester City at Etihad Stadium on February 6, 2016. Celina played for the likes of Twente and Ipswich Town before joining Swansea City for a fee of £3 million.
Speaking of his international career, the 181-cm tall midfielder played for Norway U15, U16, U17 and U21 teams, but he represents Kosovo senior team on the international stage. Bersant Celina made his debut for Kosovo in September 2014 against Oman. His main position is attacking midfield, but he is used as a winger as well.
Highlighted Team (England):
One of two oldest national football teams besides Scotland, England have been playing international matches since 1872, but the World Cup title won on home soil in 1966 remain their only major trophy up to date. The Three Lions narrowly missed out on the 1990 World Cup final, losing to Germany on penalties, while they were stopped in quarter-finals on no fewer than five occasions.
England twice reached the European Championship semi-finals, in 1968 and 1996, but they have been pretty disappointing at the start of the 21st century, despite boasting arguably the strongest league competition in the world. Sir Bobby Charlton, Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Moore were among players who secured the first major international title, whereas Gary Lineker, David Beckham, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney all played an important role during the modern age.
Peter Shilton is the record holder with 125 caps for the national team, while Wayne Rooney surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton as the leading goalscorer in the England national team.
