Slovenia vs Kosovo Prediction and Betting Tips

Slovenia will host Kosovo at the Stozice Stadium on Saturday in another round of the UEFA 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side have endured a disappointing qualifying campaign so far and must pick up maximum points this weekend to retain any hopes of securing a playoff spot, with automatic qualification now out of reach.

Slovenia extended their winless start to the qualifiers last time out with a goalless draw with Switzerland. They are third in Group B with three points from an obtainable 12 and will be desperate to pick up their first win on Saturday.

Kosovo, meanwhile, have performed commendably well in their World Cup qualifying campaign so far, shaking off the 4-0 defeat they suffered against Switzerland in the first round. They locked horns with last-placed Sweden at the Nya Ullevi in their last match and won 1-0 with Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani scoring the sole goal of the game.

The visitors now sit second in Group B with seven points from four games and only need a point on Saturday to confirm a spot in the playoffs.

Slovenia vs Kosovo Prediction

Slovenia are winless in their last four games, failing to score any goals in the latter three. They have, however, lost just once on home soil since June 2022 and will fancy their chances of a positive result on Saturday.

Dardanët, meanwhile, are undefeated in their last three matches and have lost just one of their last nine. They are, however, underdogs heading into the weekend clash and could lose this one.
