Our prediction for this Nations League match:
Following a 2-1 win over Lithuania, Kosovo will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they welcome Cyprus to their Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri on Tuesday evening. The Kosovars are eyeing their third consecutive win in Group 2, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Augsburg midfielder Elvis Rexhbecaj serves a one-game ban, while Mallorca striker Vedat Muriqi remains in the recovery room.
The Cypriotes, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Romania, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Earlier in the process Kosovo crushed Cyprus 4-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Speaking of the away team, all Stylianou, Ilia, and Sotiriou are pushing for recalls as head coach Sofronis Avgousti is expected to shuffle his pack following the heavy defeat to Romania.
Highlighted Team (Kosovo):
Despite the fact that a number of countries have yet to recognize Kosovo, they have been participating in the World Cup qualifiers September 5, 2016. Kosovo did well to hold Finland to a 1-1 draw in their opener, but they were outclassed by Croatia (0-6) in their second group game.
Albert Bunjaki’s men have slim chances of qualifying for the showpiece tournament in Russia, but, no doubt, they will use qualifying matches to gain a much-needed experience. Kosovo recorded their biggest win over Monaco on April 22, 2006, but they were not a member of FIFA back then. The Kosovo national football team played their first ever international friendly against Haiti in March 2014 and the match ended in a goalless draw.
Kosovo footballers wear blue shirts and black shorts when playing at home, while they play in yellow shirts and yellow shorts when facing their rivals on the road. Albert Bunjaku, who played for the likes of Nurnberg and Kaiserslautern in the past, is the team’s most notable player.
