Kosovo are set to host Sweden in their first game of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, with the Group B game set for Pristina. Going to the game, Kosovo are from a 4-0 win over Lithuania in a friendly match and will hope to carry that to this game as they seek a first ever win in World Cup qualifiers. In the last 12 matches, Kosovo have registered two wins and eight losses but they have a great run at home, having lost just three of their last 16 at their backyard. Out of the 16, they’ve won 11. Kosovo’s great hope will be to transfer this run to the World Cup qualifiers where they have no win in their 10 matches in history. The only time they’ve avoided defeat in World Cup qualifiers was in the very first game, against Finland in 2016. They have five straight losses at home in qualification matches and have conceded two or more goals in seven of the 10 qualification matches.

Meanwhile, Sweden are from a 1-0 win over Georgia in their opening game in this group. That was their first clean sheet in nine matches, where they have managed just three wins. It hasn’t been great for the Swedes too in their recent matches and they head here with six losses in the last 10 and they’ve failed to score in four of their last 10 matches. The five wins that Sweden have managed in the last 11 matches, have all been by one-goal margins, and they head to this game with four straight away losses. Sweden have conceded two or more goals in the last four away matches, but they go to this game unbeaten in their last three World Cup qualification matches. In the last six World cup qualification matches, Sweden have kept five clean sheets and they have eight wins in the last 12. The return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the Swedish team should boost them too going to this game, with both his talent and experience.
