Sweden approaches this qualification with a clear ambition to secure one of the top two spots in the group. The team has more class and stability than Kosovo, and recent results show that the attack is functioning well – almost in every match, goals come in the first half, which often puts opponents under pressure early on.
Kosovo relies on home advantageKosovo has shown decent form at home, but most of their successes have come against lesser opponents. Against a team of Sweden's caliber, the challenge is quite different, as their defense often leaves spaces that an experienced opponent can easily exploit. Although the Kosovars' attack also has its moments, it is the back line that seems to be their biggest problem.
Prediction: 2/2 and over 3.5 goalsThe difference in class between the two teams is palpable, and this tilts the scales decidedly in favor of the visitors. Given Sweden's recent high-scoring matches, as well as the trend for many goals in the encounters of both teams, I expect the match to be open and goal-filled.
