Sweden will have to improve their recent form to move off the bottom in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification UEFA Group B standings as they host Kosovo on Monday. This match in Gothenburg between the fourth-placed ‘Blue and Yellow’ and the second-placed Dardanians comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.
Sweden start this round with only one point (D1, L2) and are three points away from Kosovo, who start this round with four points (W1, D1, L1). The visitors are five points away from leaders Switzerland after three rounds. The group winners qualify for the World Cup, while the runners-up advance to the play-offs.
Sweden lost 2-0 at home to Switzerland on Friday for a second consecutive defeat, following a 2-0 defeat away at Kosovo in the reverse fixture. Having dropped points in a 2-2 draw against Slovenia on matchday one, the onus is on the Swedes to improve or lose hopes of qualifying directly.
Kosovo followed up their win over Sweden on matchday two with a 0-0 home draw against Slovenia on Friday. These four points remain their only points of the campaign after starting the qualifiers with a 4-0 away loss to Switzerland. Their away form remains indifferent, though, with three wins and four defeats in their last seven trips.
