After dropping points in their respective first matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, Kosovo and Sweden look for a lift on Monday in a UEFA Group B fixture. This match at Pristina City Stadium between the Dardanians and the Blue and Yellow comes with our prediction of a Sweden win and over 2.5.
Kosovo are at the bottom of the standings after losing 4-0 away to Switzerland on Friday. Sweden are second with a point after drawing 2-2 away at Slovenia on the same day.
Kosovo were rolled over by Switzerland with all four goals scored in the first half, ending a run of five consecutive wins. Their successes came in the Nations League B campaign, while they continued to struggle in the global qualifiers.
Playing at home, Kosovo have lost eight of their last nine home fixtures in the World Cup qualifiers (D1) and could be set for another defeat here.
A late goal denied Sweden full points in their 2-2 away draw against Slovenia in their first game of this campaign. It should be a warning bell, but six wins in seven matches immediately prior to that game (W6, L1) should give them confidence of bouncing back here.
Having won both their games against Kosovo 3-0 in the last cycle, Sweden will look for a positive result here.

Our Kosovo vs Sweden Prediction
A heavy 4-0 loss to Switzerland in their first match of the campaign put Kosovo on the back foot. Another loss to Sweden will make their qualification chances even bleaker, but the worry for hosts is their poor recent record in qualifiers. Sweden will be gunning for a win after dropping points in their first fixture of the campaign. Having won both games against Kosovo in the previous qualification campaign, Sweden will be looking for a lift here.
Goals could flow here, and our Kosovo vs Sweden prediction is Sweden win and over 2.5.
