Kosovo vs Romania Prediction & Betting Tips (6 September)

Kosovo still has work to do to compete with the European leaders in the Euro qualifiers or even a World Cup but also in this Nations League. Playing in League B, why not, from there to claiming Nations League A in the near future 5 years, that seems highly disproportionate. However, in this group with Lithuania and Cyprus, and Romania favorite for the 1st spot there is reason to believe in its chances of qualifying for League B. Note that since the start of the calendar year, the Kosovars have participated three friendly matches for a record of a victory in Armenia 0-1 and two defeats against Hungary 2-0 and a volley conceded in Norway in June 3-0.  Romania has vegetated for many years in the abyss of European football and is starting, little by little, to return to the upper echelons, including the Romanian clubs which participate in the play-offs of European competitions, or even the group stages.

This summer, the Yellow participated in the Euro and reached the round of 16 stage, beaten by the Netherlands 0-3. During the group stage, Romania exploded Ukraine 3-0 before succumbing to Belgium in the obligation of a positive result defeat 2-0 and a parity score during J3 against Slovakia 1-1 . Note that from an overall point of view, over the year 2024, between the friendlies and the Euro, the quarter-finalist of Euro 2000 only won one small match out of the eight played for a record of three defeats and four draws.

When we talk about development, this also and above all involves the level of players progressing in the best championships in the world. This is the case in Kosovo with boys who play in Italy like the captain of the selection, Rrahmani (Naples) and Vojvoda (Torino) without forgetting the German residents like Sahiti (Hamburg), Bujupi (Stuttgart), Muslija (Fribourg) , Rexhbecaj (Augsburg). We also note players playing in Turkey such as goalkeeper Bekaj (Hatayspor), defenders from Alanyaspor, Hadergjonaj (33 caps) and Aliti (55 caps), and striker Rashica (Besiktas, 12 goals in 55 caps) . The vice-captain, Vedat Muriqi (Mallorca, 26 players in 54 caps) is present as are the offensive players of Sparta Prague: Albion Rrahmani and Krasniqi (4 caps each).

However, there are significant absences such as that of the defender, Kryeziu (Zürich, 10 caps) injured, as well as the midfielders Berisha (27 caps), Lushaku (Norkkoping, Sweden), and Fazliji (22 appearances for the selection). Defender Beka (FC Lucerne) is also on the flank.
