Predictions for Kosovo vs Austria
Kosovo and Austria meet in the Nations League with a real chance of goals, and over 2.5 at 1.81 is the right call. Their first meeting ended 3:1 to Austria, with the visitors scoring three times inside the opening hour and Kosovo replying from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute. That scoreline flattered no one: Austria had only 48% possession, managed five shots on target against Kosovo’s six, and the xG numbers were nearly level at 1.48 to 1.31. Even in victory, Austria’s defence looked vulnerable, so Kosovo should not be dismissed in front of goal.
The wider form also supports the over. Four of Austria’s last ten matches and three of Kosovo’s last five have gone above 2.5 goals. With both attacks capable of creating chances and Austria still prone to defensive mistakes, another open game looks more likely than not. I’m taking over 2.5.
