Cyprus vs Kosovo Prediction and Betting Tips | September 9th 2024

Cyprus will face Kosovo at the AEK Arena on Monday in another round of their 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign. The home side kicked off their Nations League campaign on a winning note and now sit second in Group 2 with three points from an obtainable three.

They picked up a narrow and hard-fought 1-0 victory over Lithuania at the Arvi Arena on Friday, with AIK striker Ioannis Pittas scoring the sole goal of the game late in the first half.

Kosovo, meanwhile, continued their slow start to life under German boss Franco Foda when they faced Romania in their tournament opener on Friday. They were beaten 3-0 by the Tricolours at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the match as they extended their winless and goalless streak against Romania.

The visitors will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their first points on the board next week.

Cyprus vs Kosovo Prediction

Cyprus are on a run of back-to-back victories after winning just one of their previous 13 matches. They have, however, won just one of their last seven games on home soil and could struggle here.

Kosovo have lost their last three games on the bounce and have won just one of their last six matches. Despite their poor form, the visitors are the stronger side ahead of the midweek clash and should come out on top here.

Prediction: Cyprus 0-2 Kosovo
