Slovenia vs Kosovo prediction: EUROPE: World Cup – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-11-14 19:45.
[p]There’s plenty on the line here in World Cup qualification (WCQ) Group B as both Slovenia and Kosovo still have a chance of reaching next summer’s finals.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Slovenia haven’t won a single game in this qualifying cycle, but draws in three of their four WCQ matches have kept their hopes of reaching a first World Cup finals since 2010 alive. They start the round seven points adrift of top spot, meaning that direct qualification isn’t possible, but a win here could cut the gap to second-placed Kosovo to just one point ahead of the final round of action. Anything other than a win here will end their hopes, so it’s perhaps just as well this game comes at home, where they’re unbeaten in four games in 2025 (W2, D2), but a three-match scoreless streak in WCQ action does serve as a reminder that they should take nothing for granted here.[/p]
[p]Kosovo are in a much more dominant position than their hosts, helped by an impressive qualifying campaign that has seen them go unbeaten in three games (W2, D1) since an opening round defeat. Simply extending that undefeated run will be enough to secure them a top-two finish, but with their eyes still firmly fixed on automatic qualification, they won’t be wanting to settle for anything less than a win here. They’re not used to settling for anything less either, having won seven of their last nine internationals (D1, L1), form which suggests they’re more than capable of taking the race for top spot to the final day.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Slovenia are unbeaten in the last three H2Hs (W2, D1), although that sole draw did come in the reverse fixture (0-0).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Only two of Slovenia’s eight internationals in 2025 saw both teams score. [/p]
[p]Four of the five goals Slovenia conceded in this WCQ cycle arrived before half-time.[/p]
[p]Kosovo have kept three successive clean sheets. [/p]
[p]Just two of Kosovo’s last nine away matches saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Forward Žan Vipotnik has scored each of his last six goals for club and country on home turf, with his most recent for Slovenia coming against Sweden in September. Fisnik Asllani grabbed his second goal contribution in four club matches (G1, A1) ahead of the break for RB Leipzig, and he scored Kosovo’s most recent goal in their 1-0 win over Sweden. [/p]
[p]Slovenia’s Benjamin Šeško will miss this clash after picking up an injury playing for Manchester United. Kosovo have no fresh injury concerns. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]With Slovenia already struggling for goals before losing Šeško, a Kosovo win with a clean sheet looks a tempting price.  [/p]
