Northern Ireland to Crash Into Another Defeat Against Kosovo
N. Ireland vs Kosovo - 24/09/2022
2434
Northern Ireland will be in search of their first win of this Nations League campaign when Kosovo travels to Belfast with a four-point gap on them and two wins already registered in League C Group 3.
Regardless of the poor form from Northern Ireland, this wouldn’t look past how Greece have walked away with this group with four wins from all four games.
Kosovo are, however, the only side threatening them as they have netted five times and conceded five too from their two wins.
What’s more, Kosovo have already beaten the Green and White Army back in June in the Nations League when Vedat Muriqi scored another two goals as he continues to establish himself as his country’s main man.
Zymer Bytyqi also netted in the 3-2 win, as Shen Lavery and Daniel Ballard scored for Northern Ireland.
A 2-0 loss to Greece last time out and a 1-0 defeat to them just seven days prior means Kosovo only have another win against the 108th-ranked Cyprus in this Nations League campaign. Alain Griesse has seen his side prove their attacking excellence at times, however.
The 5-3 loss to England from 2019 will always live in the memory of UK fans because of how they led and equalised at one stage the game and threatened the Euro 2020 finalists throughout the game.
Northern Ireland have also not even been able to beat Cyprus this campaign in the Nations League. Cyprus are the lowest-ranked side in this group, and the points for Ian Baraclough’s men come from draws against the 108th-ranked side in the world.
Baraclough’s side have also lost to Greece which now keeps them in third and with the idea they need to win this one to keep the pressure off the head coach..
Josh Magennis is going to be as important as ever for his side this time around as he comes into this one with just one goal so far in the Championship for Wigan Athletic.
In fact, no Northern Ireland player has been firing confidently this season and the Green and White Army could end up struggling in front of goal once again in 2022/23.
Forebet predicts a win for Kosovo here as the struggles are expected to continue for Northern Ireland in this Nations League.
They have also found it hard to win at home for some time now, and Forebet predicts over 2.5 goals and an away win.
