Israel take on the visitors Kosovo in the round 1 match of UEFA Euro 2024 qualification. The match will be played on Saturday, March 25th at Bloomfield Stadium (Tel-Aviv).
Israel are one of the most entertaining teams in terms of goal-scoring in Europe. The unbalanced lines often lead to this scenario. With a powerful attack featuring talents like Gluhak and experienced veterans like Zahavi and Dabbur, there are simply no defenders at the level of Tal Ben Haim as there were 10-15 years ago. This has resulted in scores such as 2-3 against Cyprus, 1-2 against Malta, and 4-2 against Zambia over the last year. In 2022, they played 9 games, and 8 of them were high-scoring games with over 2.5 total goals.

Kosovo are not far behind their opponent. Under Bernard Challandes and now under Alain Giresse, the team strives to play aggressively starting from their attack, according to their abilities. Their recent results include a 2-2 draw with Armenia, a 5-1 win over Cyprus, and a 1-2 loss to Northern Ireland in the Nations League, which they later avenged with a 3-2 home win. By the way, Kosovo finished second in the Nations League after the Greeks. As a result, the guests will be dangerous on counterattacks on the opponent's field.
The match is very suitable for over 2.5 total goals. However, knowing the ins and outs of these teams, who primarily seek happiness in attack due to the lack of reliable defense, over 2.5 total goals with a significant increase in odds seems to me the most attractive option. Their playing philosophies do not allow for careful play around their own goal, so I am somewhat surprised by the high odds for a match that will be the first in the history of these teams.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
