Draw
These teams never met before which is not a surprise as Kosovo is one of the newest members of UEFA. They didn't even arrange a friendly in the past few years. Kosovo has won only once from their last five matches, it was a 5-1 drubbing over Cyprus, but they drew their last couple of games against Armenia and the Faroe Islands. Israel has counted a couple of victories from their last five outings, one of them a friendly against Zambia. Contrary to Kosovo who beat Cyprus, Israel lost to the same opponent in their last match during the national team's November training period, the score was 3-2. First Israel vs Kosovo prediction suggests this match could go either way, but a draw seems like a likely scenario.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Israel is on an incredible streak of eight straight games when both teams scored a goal. Kosovo covered BTTS in five of their last six matches. It is obvious that these teams play similarly in style, and they have trouble defending their goal. Both sides in this Israel vs Kosovo duel had conceded two or more goals in some matches, but for Israel, that information is even more important because they seem to allow too many goals while playing at home. They have a run of nine matches in a row that had both teams scoring at least a goal while Israel was the host. Kosovo had three out of the last five away matches with BTTS.

They are falling short on every occasion even though on the club level they have some success in advancing even to the Champions League. However, that kind of success hasn't transformed into the national team. There are no health issues for team coach Alon Hazan.

Kosovo

They have plenty of talented players that have developed a bond and team chemistry. Looking forward to the match against Israel, manager Alain Giresse doesn't have injury concerns, and he will count on players like Napoli's Amir Rrahmani, Galatasaray's Milot Rashica, and Mallorca's Vedat Muriqi for some spark.
Kosovo is position 107 in global football rankings according to the latest information from FIFA. They have retained the spot from the previous rankings. It is their first trip to Israel, a match that is likely to be tricky for the visitors.

The visiting coach, Alain Giresse has not been in charge of 10 games, recording an average of 1.50 points per match after 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses.
