Switzerland 🇨🇭 vs 🇽🇰 Kosovo

Switzerland and Kosovo kick off their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaigns when they lock horns in Basel on Friday.

Switzerland may be placed 76 places higher than Kosovo in the FIFA world rankings, but they have seen each of their previous three head-to-head meetings, and with that in mind, we think the visitors will do enough to hold their hosts to another draw in Friday’s contest.

It should be a really good match tonight.

Here’s why:

•Even rivalry history → Every Switzerland vs Kosovo clash so far has ended in a draw, which means Kosovo knows how to make it tough for them.

•Switzerland at home → They’re strong in Basel and have been scoring plenty of goals recently.

•Kosovo’s momentum → They come in unbeaten in eight matches, playing with confidence and energy.

That mix usually makes for an open, competitive match rather than a one-sided affair. Even if Switzerland are favourites, Kosovo’s style (pressing, quick counters) means we could see goals at both ends.

Our Verdict:Both Teams To Score-Yes
