Kosovo takes on the visitors Iceland at "Loro Borici Stadium" on the matchday five of the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in Shkoder on Friday, March 24th.
Kosovo take first steps in the world's football and there is its first qualifying campaign in the history. Thus, Kosovo is expected neither to fight for high places nor to take a lot of points. Meanwhile, Kosovo has earned already one point in four played matches after 1:1 draw vs. Finland. However, it defeated in another qualifying matches with 0:11 aggregated goal difference by Croatia 0:6, Ukraine 0:3 and Turkey 0:2.

Having progressed to the quarterfinal of the UEFA Euro 2016, Iceland is considered to be among contenders to qualify from the group of the Europe’s Qualification Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. “Northmen” recorded seven points with 6:5 goal difference after four matchdays and they sit at the third place. The Icelanders got two victories against Finland 3:2 and Turkey 2:0, 1:1 draw vs. Ukraine and were defeated by Croatia 0:2 and now they need to improve their position in the group in the match with the underdog.
Kosovo and Iceland have never met before. Thus, it is no wonder taking into account that the hosting side became the UEFA's member association only in 2014. I believe that Scandinavians are unlikely to have any difficulties in taking three points in the forthcoming match whereas teams' levels are quite different.
Prediction for the match: Iceland to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
