Kosovo vs Israel prediction

Kosovo will be banking on their notoriously strong home record to do them proud in this match, with three points needed to give themselves a chance of overhauling group leaders Austria. So far, Kosovo's only victory in this season's Nations League came in Pristina, a 1-0 triumph over Republic of Ireland. They also drew 1-1 at home to Austria, underlining how strong a side they are in front of their own fans.

Israel, meanwhile, are coming off the back of consecutive Nations League draws, one of them against Kosovo in Hungary. They've improved significantly at the back after shipping three goals in each of their opening two group fixtures, which should make for another tight encounter between these two nations.

However, Kosovo are on home turf and have to get three points. A win would keep them on Austria's tail and stop the Republic of Ireland from leapfrogging them into second place, so backing the hosts should be favoured.
