Sweden vs. Kosovo Tip & Quotas, 09.10.2021 – 18:00 – World Cup Qualification Europe
The Swedes made a strong start to the qualification, but had to accept their first defeat on the previous day. This came about against Greece. The next match brings Kosovo as an opponent in front of a local backdrop. The first leg was a very clear affair and went to the “Tre Kronor” with 3-0. This time, the elf even enjoys the home right. For this reason, the pairing will be held in the Friends Arena on Saturday, 9 October at 6:00 pm. Even before the kick-off, the odds make the hosts an absolute favorite tip.

The Swedes made a guest appearance in Greece last qualifying day. After the last surprising 2-1 draw against Spain, the visitors played with a big chest. Only four minutes had passed when Svandberg failed at the post for the first time. In the further course of the game, both teams did not allow each other any space on the field and fought for every inch. There were no goals before the break. The European Champion of 2004 started better in the second round and gained field advantages. After 62 minutes of play, they led to a 1-0 victory over Captain Bakasetas. Only six minutes later, Claesson defeated the Swedes at the post for the second time. Unlike the Greeks, they managed the 2-0 victory by Pavlidis after 74 minutes of play. The “Tre Kronor” did not give up at all and only six minutes later came through the ex-Mainzer Quaison to the connection. But it wasn’t enough for more in the end.
No doubt a bitter bankruptcy. Previously, however, three consecutive victories were won. Even against Spain a narrow 2:1 jumped out. In addition, Kosovo (3:0) and Georgia (1:0) were defeated. Nine points are enough for second place. The gap to the leader from Spain is four points. The Spaniards have played two more games. The gap to the third in the table from Greece is three points.
The Swedes look at seven goals scored and have scored in every game. The defence must allow itself three conceded goals to be crayoned. Two of the four pairs were denied zero. Isak and Claesson are the best attackers in their own ranks with two goals each.
The Swedes participated in a final round of the World Cup 12 times. The best result was second place in 1958. At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, it was enough for the quarter-final entry. There was a final stop against England.

The Kosovars recently gave a good performance against the absolute favourite tip Spain. The underdog even played out two good opportunities to lead in the first minutes through Rashica and Rashani. In the end, the guests showed themselves to be ice cold and promptly went through Pablo Fornals in front after 32 minutes. Since the Spaniards missed a double chance at 2-0 just before the intermission, the gap was narrow. In the second round, the home team were clearly better at first and came on good occasions. The compensation would have been deserved. However, the lack of opportunities was penalised coldly in the final phase. In the 88th minute, Ferran Torres secured the 2-0 lead and the final score at the same time.
In any case, the Kosovars offered a good performance in the end and only had to let themselves be criticized for exploiting their own opportunities. Nevertheless, after five attempts, there is only one victory to be won. In addition, three defeats and a draw were won. With four points captured, the eleven from Kosovo occupy fourth place in the league table and are unable to calculate any real chances of participating in the World Cup. The offensive is too harmless and only scored three goals. On the other hand, nine goals have already been conceded to the defence. Vedat Muriqi is the best attacker in his own ranks with two hits.
So far, the Kosovars have never been able to qualify for a World Cup final round. The quotas make it clear that it will not be enough this time either.

As part of our World Cup betting forecast, it can be assumed that the hosts will build on the strong performance from the first leg and come to a clear victory. For this reason, a handicap bet is recommended.
