Israel will be desperate to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Austria and Ireland when they take on Kosovo at Nagyerdei Stadion on Thursday evening. Defender Raz Shlomo is one yellow card away from suspension, while midfielder Dor Peretz is pushing for a start after coming off the bench against Ireland. The hosts’ defensive problems are a major concern, and with this fixture being played at a neutral venue in Debrecen, Israel’s home advantage should not be considered.
Kosovo, meanwhile, opened their Nations League campaign with a victory over Ireland before suffering a 3-1 defeat to Austria in the second round. Juventus star Edon Zhegrova returns to the starting XI and should provide an attacking spark, while goalkeeper Arijanet Muric is doubtful after picking up a knock against Austria. Kosovo have won 60% of their last five away matches, scoring an impressive 1.80 goals per game during that run.
Considering Kosovo’s stronger recent form and Israel’s shaky defence, our main betting tip firmly points toward Away Win, alongside Kosovo Over 1.5 goals and Over 1.5 goals total (Israel’s games average 3.80 goals across their last 10 matches).
This Nations League match will be played on Thursday 1 October 2026 at 19:45.
