Cyprus vs Kosovo Prediction & Betting Tips (9 September)

Cyprus has no participation in a Euro, let alone a World Cup. The Cypriot selection does not have much chance of achieving this in the future. Only 1,000,000 inhabitants on this small island, no known players, and moribund performances. Present in Group A of the qualifiers for Euro 2024 Spain, Scotland, Norway, Georgia, the Cypriots lost all their matches and finished in last place -25 difference. Last Friday, they started this Nations League C with a trip to Lithuania. Slight outsider, Cyprus won its match with a score of 1 goal to 0. Cyprus is 2nd in its group 3 points. The Kosovo team played its first official match in 2016.

It is a young football nation brought to grow but can count on a quality workforce. At the head of the gondola, our thoughts go to Lille E.Zhegrova, the best player on this team. 5th in the last qualifiers for Euro 2024, Kosovo is in Group 2 of League C in which it is favorite along with Romania. Precisely, the 2 ogres of this group faced each other in the Fadil Vokkri in Kosovo last Friday. Kosovo, 4th in the group with 0 points, disappointed by losing 0-3. 

11 players among the 22 selected play in the local Cypriot championship. This shows in broad terms the weakness of this small Cypriot nation. However, some talented boys have found refuge in a larger championship. This is the case of goalkeeper Joël Mall (Servette FC, 6 salt), defensive captain Andreou (Charleroi, 15 salt), his friend Ioannou (46 salt, Come 1907), midfielder Kastanos (Hellas Verona, 51 salt ), and to finish with the leading scorer, Ionis Pittas (36 salts - 4 goals). Very present (entering the court of play) during his last match. Injured for 1 month, the experienced Christofi (71 salt) is absent, like Sotiriou (59 salt - 12 goals) who plays in Japan. On the other hand, Kosovo has a very good football team.

Edon Zhegrova is the offensive spearhead (37 salt - 4 goals) although his performance is still questionable, however the one responsible for converting the opportunities is called Vedat Muriqi (Mallorca, 54 salt - 26 goals). To ensure that the balance is respected, the barometer of this formation is none other than Amir Rrahmani (57 salts - 6 goals, Naples), the most capped player in the history of the selection. Also a resident of Serie A, Mergim Vorvojda (55 salts - 12 goals), completes wonderfully in the defensive register. Packaged for 8 matches with Elche, Rashania (29 salt - 5 goals) is injured, the same goes for Fazliji (22 salt, Saint-Gall), Loshaj (22 salt) left at half-time during his last match with Istanbulspor. Bersant (defender) and Zeneli the ex-Reims player were not called up. Sent off at the end of the game against Romania, the starting right back Vojvoda will watch this match from the stands.
