Sweden vs Kosovo prediction
Despite boasting an impressive squad in terms of talent and gaining promotion from League C of the UEFA Nations League last autumn, Sweden have been woeful in this FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign and that continued with a 2-0 defeat at home to Switzerland the other day.
Kosovo head to Stockholm on the back of a goalless draw with Slovenia at the Pristina City Stadium in Prishtina the other day. Under the management of former Austria boss Franco Foda, the Kosovans have emerged as the biggest challenger to Switzerland in this group.
Kosovo defeated Sweden by two goals to nil in Kosovo last month and they could well cause major ruptures in Swedish football by going for blood in Scandinavia.
Sweden vs Kosovo tip: Double chance – Kosovo to win or draw
