Iceland have something of a new look to them with some exciting talents coming through but they are on the verge of relegation down to League C unless they produce a turnaround here.

Iceland vs Kosovo Prediction

In the first-leg of this UEFA Nations League League B/C promotion/relegation playoff, Kosovo managed to defeat Iceland by two goals to one at Pristina City Stadium in the Kosovan capital thanks to goals from Lumbardh Dellova and Elvis Rexhbecaj.

Iceland, who rose to prominence with their UEFA EURO 2016 run and 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification, have some new talents coming through such as Real Sociedad striker Orri Oskarsson, who scored in that defeat to Kosovo, as well as the likes of Lille midfielder Hakan Haraldsson and Fiorentina’s Albert Gudmundsson.

However, their loss the other day would suggest a naivety that a more experienced Kosovan side with its own fairly high levels of pedigree and tactical nous could expose. The Kosovans’ squad boasts the likes of Arijanet Muric, Mergim Vojvoda, Amir Rrahmani, Valon Berisha, Milot Rashica and Real Mallorca striker Vedat Muriqi.

Iceland will believe they can put the pressure on up in Reykjavik and that could lead to quite an entertaining encounter, especially with Kosovo’s ability and personnel on the counter-attack.

Iceland vs Kosovo Tip: Both teams to score
