Poland U21 take on the visitors Kosovo U21 in UEFA Euro U21 qualification match. The match will be played on Friday, September 8th at Orlen Stadion (Płock).
The Polish youth team narrowly missed out on qualifying for Euro 2023, failing to secure enough points against Hungary with 2 draws, which ultimately proved to be a fatal mistake. As for the current qualification, being in a group with Germany, Israel, Bulgaria, Kosovo, and Estonia, it won't be easy for Poland to secure a top-2 spot. Kosovo, in particular, is a team that can't be underestimated. Poland played a couple of friendlies at the beginning of the summer, drawing 1-1 with Finland and defeating Montenegro 2-1. The odds for Poland at (1.1) seem unreasonably low. Kosovo are a strong team, and it's questionable whether Poland will win at all, let alone secure a significant victory.

Kosovo performed admirably in the previous qualification, even holding England to a 1-1 draw. They finished 4th out of 6 in their group, ahead of Andorra and Albania. They only suffered one serious defeat in 10 matches, a 0-5 loss to England; otherwise, they put up a strong fight. In the current qualification, Kosovo have already started and convincingly defeated Estonia 2-0. In the upcoming game, the guests don't appear to be massive underdogs, and if they can earn some points in this match, it wouldn't be surprising.
The odds for this match don't seem entirely logical, and it's worth considering a handicap bet in favor of Kosovo. Expect a closely contested game, and a (+2) handicap for the guests has a good chance of success. Poland's results at the senior level have started to decline, and their youth team doesn't appear to be exceptionally strong either.
Prediction for the match: Kosovo U21 to win with +2.0 handicap.
