Match preview
Israel face Kosovo in League B of the UEFA Nations League looking to halt a difficult start to their campaign. The home side have suffered defeats in both of their opening fixtures, conceding six goals across losses to Austria and the Republic of Ireland while scoring just once.
Kosovo enter this contest with three points from their first two group matches, following a 1-0 home victory over the Republic of Ireland and a 3-1 away loss to Austria. They have demonstrated solid attacking continuity by scoring in both matches and will look to exploit an opponent struggling for defensive stability.
Previous meetings between these nations also suggest a balanced dynamic. In their two prior European Championship qualifying encounters in 2023, Kosovo remained unbeaten against Israel, recording a 1-0 win at home after a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture.

- Israel have conceded three goals in each of their first two Nations League group matches.
- Kosovo have scored in both of their group fixtures to date.
