Kosovo: a strong Nations League run and 15 goals in seven matches

Kosovo's last match was against Andorra, and they secured a convincing 3-0 victory. In their last six games, the team have recorded three wins, one draw and two defeats, scoring an average of 1.83 goals per match.

Kosovo have looked particularly impressive in the Nations League, winning six of their previous seven matches in the competition and scoring 15 goals. The team have also found the net in six of their last seven international games, meaning their attack at home could cause serious problems for the Irish defence.

Ireland: an unbeaten run and consistent scoring form

Ireland have not lost any of their last six matches, recording three wins and three draws. In their previous game, the team drew 1-1 with Canada, having earlier thrashed Grenada 5-0 and beaten Qatar 1-0.

In the Nations League, Ireland have won four of their last six matches, including back-to-back 2-1 victories over Bulgaria. Their attacking form is also encouraging: seven goals in their last three international games, as well as goals in four of their last six matches in this competition.

Match facts

• Kosovo have won six of their last seven Nations League matches and scored 15 goals in them.
• Ireland are unbeaten in six consecutive international matches.
• This will be the first-ever meeting between Kosovo and Ireland.

Both attacks can make the most of their chances: Kosovo vs Ireland prediction

Kosovo head into the match with an excellent Nations League record and have been scoring regularly both at home and on the international stage overall. Ireland, meanwhile, have shown consistency in their results and have also improved significantly in attack, scoring seven goals in their last three games.

Picking a winner in this first-ever head-to-head encounter is a risky proposition, but the attacking numbers of both national teams point to a clearer scenario. Kosovo consistently create chances, while Ireland are capable of responding with attacking football of their own.
