🔎 Overview
Sweden head into this Group B clash as strong favorites, aiming to claim their first win of the campaign after being held by Slovenia. Kosovo, meanwhile, will be eager to bounce back following a heavy defeat to Switzerland. The match in Prishtina promises intensity, with the hosts backed by a passionate home crowd, but Sweden’s depth and firepower may prove decisive.
🇽🇰 Kosovo – Searching for Stability
Kosovo are still building their identity at this level and know points at home are crucial if they are to challenge in Group B. The defensive issues that cost them against Switzerland must be resolved quickly, or Sweden’s attackers will punish them.
Key Players:
-
Vedat Muriqi – The focal point in attack, dangerous in the air and clinical inside the box.
-
Edon Zhegrova – Brings creativity and pace on the wing, capable of unsettling Sweden’s backline.
-
Florent Muslija – Provides attacking spark and long-range threat.
Tactics: Kosovo are likely to set up in a 4-3-3, compact in midfield, aiming to exploit counter-attacks through Zhegrova and Muslija while relying on Muriqi’s hold-up play.
🇸🇪 Sweden – Determined to Bounce Back
Sweden have the stronger squad on paper and will want to impose themselves from the start. Despite dropping points against Slovenia, their attacking duo of Gyökeres and Elanga remains a real threat.
Key Players:
-
Viktor Gyökeres – In red-hot form, a clinical finisher who thrives on service.
-
Anthony Elanga – Brings pace and directness, capable of stretching Kosovo’s defense.
-
Robin Olsen – The experienced goalkeeper who provides stability at the back.
Tactics: Sweden are expected to line up in a 3-4-1-2, using wing-backs to push high and Ayari as the creative link between midfield and attack. Their plan will be to dominate possession and press Kosovo back.
