Cyprus take on the visitors Kosovo in the round 1 match in League C of UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Thursday, June 2nd at AEK Arena (Larnaca).
Three months ago, in the last match against Estonia, Cyprus finally broke their 11-match streak without a win in which they suffered eight defeats. True, Slovenia and Slovakia, Hungary and Russia were rivals in those games. On top of that, in eight fights, the Cypriots could not even score a goal. But recently the situation with performance has improved somewhat, they scored against the Slovenes, even scored two goals against the Estonians.

Kosovo has slightly better performance, but they won only once in the last seven battles, was defeated in a friendly against Burkina Faso, losing to opponents in four of them. And in six battles, the "golden" boys "conceded goals, even from Georgia and Jordan.
In terms of names, the Kosovars are far superior to the Cypriots, who are staffed almost entirely by natives, while the opponent's players play in all the leading European championships, Muriqui plays for Mallorca, Rashica for Norwich, Aliti for Zurich, Berisha for Reims, Voivoda for Torino, Rahmani for Napoli and Idriz is for Schalke. But in terms of the quality of the game and the results, not really. And in defense they have conceded in 12 of the last 15 matches they were scored by all and sundry, even Jordan and San Marino managed to sign at the gates of Uikani, by the way, the goalkeeper of not only the Kosovo national team but also the Italian Empoli. I have no idea how the opponents will share the points in the upcoming confrontation, but based on the available facts on their field, the Cypriots are quite capable of at least just scoring a goal against the very mediocre defense of Kosovo.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
