Sweden will be looking to bounce back when they host Kosovo in a Group B encounter in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Europe. Both sides are actually coming from losses, which left Sweden second with nine points and Kosovo fourth on four points. Sweden have two games in hand as they head into this clash and two wins will see them go top, with Spain away on Nations League duties. In their last outing, they lost 2-1 to Greece, that being just their second loss in the last 10 matches. However, Sweden have no clean sheet in the last five matches, each one of them ending in over 2.5 goals. In 10 World Cup qualification matches, they have six wins and six clean sheets, and they’ve failed to score in just two. At home, in the qualifiers, they have seven straight wins, with five clean sheets and are unbeaten in eight.

Kosovo go to this game after a 2-0 loss to Spain in their last outing. Another loss here will badly dent their hopes of participating at the 2022 World Cup, and to avoid that, they have to improve in defence. They have conceded nine goals in five games in this group, while they haven’t scored more than a goal in their last five matches but have failed to score in just one of the five matches. Kosovo have conceded two goals in two of their last five matches, and in World Cup qualification, they have three losses in five matches. They’ve also conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches and away from home in the qualifiers, they have five losses and just a win in seven. That win, against Georgia also happens to have served their first away clean sheet in World Cup qualifiers.
