vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Kosovo begin the League B group stage without a match played in the competition. Their last friendly ended in a 3-0 win over Andorra; before that came a 1-2 defeat away to Czechia. Further back, in World Cup qualifying, are a 0-1 home loss to Türkiye, a 4-3 away win at Slovakia, a 1-1 home draw with Switzerland and a 2-0 away win at Slovenia. Austria also start the group with no games played. Their last available result was a 0-3 defeat away to Spain at the World Cup; before that a 3-3 draw away to Algeria and a 0-2 defeat away to Argentina, both also at the World Cup. Further back is a 3-1 win over Jordan, and before that a 1-0 win over Tunisia in a friendly. There is no direct meeting on record between the two sides. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one. The data and assessments here are provided for information and statistical purposes.
