Kosovo most corners — Zhegrova and Rashica drive wide territory at homeJason Knight (Ireland) most bookable — 4 YC in 7 NL 2024 appearancesKosovo to win — superior NL 2024 record, strong home crowd and Muriqi's finishing edge

Kosovo host Ireland at the Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri in Prishtina with Vedat Muriqi (5 NL 2024 goals, 8 SoT) as the standout attacking threat. Kosovo won 5 of 8 in NL 2024, scoring 15 goals — Ireland conceded 14 in the same period. Edon Rexhbeçaj (3 YC, most bookable Kosovo player) gives Kosovo a physical edge; Amir Rrahmani has stepped away from international football. Evan Ferguson is unavailable for Ireland, so Troy Parrott leads the line. Jason Knight's 4 YC in 7 NL apps makes him the sharpest card pick on the board.

Jason Knight (Ireland) most bookable — 4 YC in 7 NL 2024 appearances

Kosovo host Ireland at the Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri in Prishtina with Vedat Muriqi (5 NL 2024 goals, 8 SoT) as the standout attacking threat. Kosovo won 5 of 8 in NL 2024, scoring 15 goals — Ireland conceded 14 in the same period. Edon Rexhbeçaj (3 YC, most bookable Kosovo player) gives Kosovo a physical edge; Amir Rrahmani has stepped away from international football. Evan Ferguson is unavailable for Ireland, so Troy Parrott leads the line. Jason Knight's 4 YC in 7 NL apps makes him the sharpest card pick on the board.

Match resultLow-medium risk

Kosovo to win

Kosovo won 5 of 8 NL 2024 games and scored 15 goals — Ireland scored just 7 in 8. Kosovo's Muriqi (5 goals, 8 SoT in 6 NL 2024 apps) is the most dangerous striker in this group. Home advantage at Fadil Vokrri is significant for Kosovo.

Shots on targetLow-medium risk

Vedat Muriqi 2+ shots on target

Muriqi averaged 1.33 SoT per game in NL 2024 with Kosovo, scoring 5 goals in 6 appearances. Ireland conceded 14 goals in 8 NL 2024 games — a leaky backline Muriqi will test repeatedly.

Yellow cardLow-medium risk

Jason Knight to be booked

Knight picked up 4 yellow cards in 7 NL 2024 appearances for Ireland — the highest tally of any Irish outfield player. Kosovo's pacey attack (Rexhbeçaj, Muriqi) will draw fouls from Ireland's combative midfield.
