Ireland's run has gone the other way. They lost back-to-back games, at home to Kosovo and away to Israel, before settling down with draws against Austria and Israel.

Neither team has actually won a match in their last two outings.

Comparative Team Statistics: Rep. Of Ireland vs Kosovo

The reverse fixture went Kosovo's way

These two met just weeks earlier in this same Nations League campaign, with Kosovo winning 1-0 on home soil.

It's the only meeting on record here, so there isn't a long history to lean on, but it's recent and relevant given it's the same competition and roughly the same squads.

Barely anything between them in the table

Kosovo sit second in the group with five points from four games, Ireland third with the same tally from the same number of matches.

It's about as tight as a group table gets, which fits with how close the recent results between these two nations have actually been.

Ireland try to flip the script at home

Ireland lost the away leg of this pairing last time, so there's an obvious incentive to put that right on home turf.

Given both teams have drawn their last two games and sit level on points, a cagey, tight contest wouldn't be a surprise. Kosovo have shown they can hurt Ireland already this campaign, so confidence won't be in short supply for them either.
