Kosovo will be looking to end a two games losing streak when they host Romania on Thursday for Match Day one of the Nations League Group Stage.
The hosts enjoyed a great campaign in their last Nations League campaign. The Dardanians picked up nine points from six outings, and finished second in League C Group 2. Franco Foda's side were expected to build on that in the 2024 EURO Qualifiers but things didn’t work out well, with the nation finishing fifth in Group I.
Romania meanwhile were disappointing in the last Nations League group stage. The visitors finished bottom of League B Group 3 with seven points from seven games, but they responded well in the Euro Qualifiers. Edward Iord?nescu’s side qualified for the EURO finals in Germany and went beyond the group stage before being knocked out by the Netherlands in the round of 16.
Kosovo vs Romania Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Kosovo have not had much joy when it comes to scoring goals in recent games. The hosts failed to find the back of the net in three of their last four matches and as many games ended with under 2.5 goals.
Romania shipped three goals in their last encounter against the Netherlands in the Euros, but overall they have been solid defensively in recent moments. The Romanians kept a clean sheet in half of their last six encounters and their defensive record against Kosovo is also good.
The Tricolours kept a clean sheet in each of their last two meetings with Kosovo and as many games ended with under two goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Romania team news
Alexandru Cicald?u is the most-capped player in the squad named by head coach Edward Iord?nescu for this month’s encounters against Kosovo and Lithuania.
Cicald?u didn’t start any of the four games his nation played at EURO 2024 and the Galatasaray forward is likely to settle for a place on the bench this week.
