On Tuesday, it's now or never for the European teams still looking to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Two nations still in with a chance of making FIFA's showpiece event are Kosovo and Turkey, but only one can go through. The pair will meet in a do-or-die clash in the Kosovan capital of Pristina. Off the back of one of their most clinical ever efforts as an independent nation, the hosts should fancy themselves to make good use of home advantage, which is something that they're typically capable of. The hosts will also be looking to leading forward Vedat Muriqi to lead by example, and I wouldn't be against the LaLiga forward having a big say here. 

The Turks will be hoping to spoil the party at Stadium Fadil Vokrri, though they'll likely have to deliver a better performance than they did last time out. Dominant from the word go, Tuesday's visitors were always going to beat a Romanian team that did not rise to the occasion in Istanbul last week, but Vincenzo Montella's men were guilty of overplaying in the final third, failing to make the most of many promising offensive moves. Against a team that should test them more at the back, can they be more clinical?

Our Kosovo vs Turkiye Prediction

Vedat Muriqi may not have found the net when his nation somewhat surprisingly scored four goals on the road in Slovakia last week, but at home against a team that can certainly be caught on the break, do not be surprised if the big man redeems himself. After all, it's not like he failed to threaten in Kosovo's last match, coming very close to scoring, while he's simply hungrier for goals than odds of +350 would suggest, shooting no fewer than 14 times in his last two matches. 

Make no mistake about it, the man who is the second leading scorer in Spain's LaLiga this season can cause the Turks some serious problems on Tuesday.
