Kosovo take on the visitors Northern Ireland in the round 3 match of League C in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Thursday, June 9th at Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri (Pristina).
Kosovo is not improving as fast as expected. "Golden Boys" - 1 of the youngest teams, if we talk about the official status. But this is not some kind of Gibraltar, it was immediately clear that there were enough footballers both local and those who were already born or grew up in Albania, Switzerland, Scandinavia, but remembered their blood and willingly responded to the invitation. They expected that, having got used to it, the Kosovars would be able to become at least a strong middle peasant. But so far, only the victory in the debut Nations League has been a success, when the opponents were absolete outsiders. So far, the results in the preliminaries are mediocre, and in 2021 there was a complete failure: only 5 points and the last place in the group. The New Year began under the leadership of Alain Giresse. And he achieved good results in the control games, and the new League of Nations started with 2-0 win in Cyprus. But then they were returned to the ground by Greece.

Northern Ireland gradually lost ground. The "Green-White Army" in 2016 did not just play at the Euro - they won there against Ukraine and made their way to the playoffs. Yes, and the Nortairish almost made it to the next World Cup - Switzerland turned out to be a little stronger in the playoffs. Then a gradual regression began, especially after the departure of a successful mentor, O'Neill. Under his successor, Baraclow, not only have the results in qualifications become more modest (in 2021, for example, there were only 9 points in 8 matches and 3rd place), but a place in Division B of the League of Nations has also been lost. On a simpler level, on June 2nd, Northern Ireland played against Greece - and lost 0-1. Then there was Cyprus, which was also not scored, but at least they got a “goalless” draw.
Kosovo spends only the first years at the level of recognized national teams. With Northern Ireland, this team will play for the first time. It is obvious that the first goal will decide everything here. And, given that the teams will be "home", we recommend betting on the victory of Kosovo
Prediction for the match: Kosovo to win.
