Kosovo
On Sunday, September 27, we have a UEFA Nations League clash between Austria and Kosovo to look forward to. The match will kick off at 6:00 PM CET, and I am offering a bet on it.
Austria - Kosovo: Match preview
Both teams have already started their UEFA Nations League campaigns in League B. Both national teams managed to win their opening matches. Austria beat Israel 3:1 in the first round, while Kosovo defeated Ireland 1:0 at home. Both teams have three points and are fighting for direct promotion to the higher division of the UEFA Nations League.
Before the UEFA Nations League, Austria played at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The team won one group-stage match, drew one and lost one. This was enough to reach the playoffs, but they were immediately eliminated by Spain, losing 0:3. As for the previous UEFA Nations League campaign, they were also close to earning promotion to League A but lost to Serbia 1:3 in the playoffs.
The Kosovo national team played in the lower division of the Nations League two years ago. They managed to finish second in their group and earned a chance to qualify through the playoffs, which they took by beating Iceland 5:2 on aggregate over two matches. However, they failed to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Kosovo had a decent qualifying campaign but had to go through the qualification playoffs. They beat Slovakia 4:3 and then lost 0:1 to Turkey in the playoff final. After that, the team played two friendly matches, losing 1:2 to the Czech Republic and beating Andorra 3:0.
