Israel vs Kosovo Match Preview

Israel will face Kosovo in Tel Aviv in the opening of the ninth group of the EURO 2024 qualifiers.

Israel's course in the recent Nations League is considered successful, participated in the second group of division B and with rivals such as Iceland and Albania finished in 1st place. This is how they were promoted to League A while they will have a second chance through the play offs of the competition to qualify for the first time in their history in the final stage of the European championship.

At the same time, they will make their effort to achieve their big goal through these qualifiers, with opponents such as Kosovo, Switzerland, Romania, Belarus and Andorra.

Kosovo tried hard in the last Nations League but could not get promotion for League B. They had opponents Greece, Cyprus and Northern Ireland and with a record of 3 wins and 3 losses they finished in 2nd place with 9 points, on the positive side however, showing their improvement of the last few years.

In their short history, however, they have not been able to achieve any great success and have never been in the finals of a major event.

This is an interesting matchup between two teams that are not among the big powers, but have made progress in recent years. Israel at home is quite competitive, set a fast pace to games and score with ease. Kosovo, for their part, can follow while also possessing plenty of quality in the middle and up front. My choice is the many goals alternative and specifically Over 2.5 goals at odds of 2.20
