Switzerland vs Kosovo Prediction and Betting Tips

Publish date: 2024-05-04

Switzerland will host Kosovo at the St. Jakob-Park on Saturday in another round of the 2024 European Championship qualifiers.

The home side performed brilliantly at the start of the Euro qualifiers but have dropped off the pace in recent outings although they remain favorites to advance from Group I. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Israel in their last game and had looked set to be headed toward a narrow win following Ruben Vargas' first-half strike before their opponents scored a late equalizer.

Switzerland sit atop the Group I standings with 16 points from eight games. They will qualify for the final tournament next year with a win on Saturday while a draw could also suffice.

Kosovo, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the qualifiers so far and while advancement to the final tournament remains a possibility, they need an extraordinary set of results elsewhere to do so. They beat Israel 1-0 in their last game, with Milot Rashica scoring the sole goal of the game late in the first half.

The visitors sit fourth in their group with 10 points picked up so far. Failure to win on Saturday will end their chances of automatic qualification for the Euros.
