Kosovo vs. England – Prediction (EURO Qualification – 17.11.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Kosovo’s stock has risen greatly in the past 12 months, and their recent run of four wins in six matches (W4, L2) is impressive. Proving to be real entertainers, they have scored in 14 consecutive matches, yet they have also conceded in nine of those same fixtures, meaning that their games are usually entertaining for the neutrals. Valon Berisha was a thorn in England’s side last time they met, scoring a goal either side of half-time. In the last H2H meeting, Kosovo became the first team to score three away goals vs England since November 2007. They will be hoping to repeat that feat in front of their home fans, where they have netted 2+ goals in seven of their previous nine matches.

Kosovo’s last four matches have averaged 5.0 yellow cards per game. Each of England’s previous six wins have all come by a 2+ margin (90+ mins only). Four of England’s last six goals conceded came in the second half. England have averaged 4.25 corners per game across their previous four matches.

England continue to boast good recent form ahead of Euro 2020, having won four of their previous five matches (W4, L1). Their attack has been in blistering form in that run, having averaged 4.6 goals per game, with their last two matches seeing them score 4+ goals before half-time. England captain Harry Kane has nine goals across his previous five international appearances, including two hat-tricks. Gareth Southgate’s men aren’t just formidable in attack though, and they also boast a solid defence, which has kept a clean sheet in six of their previous 11 fixtures. Additionally, they boast a run of conceding over 1.5 goals in just one of those same 11 matches.
