Two Previous Meetings
These two sides battled in the EURO 2020 qualifiers.
Czechs Warming up for the WC
A 6-0 victory against Gibraltar was enough for the Czech Republic to secure second place in the World Cup 2026 Qualifiers Group L and seek their qualification through playoffs.
In the semifinals, they recovered from a two-goal deficit against Republic of Ireland and won on penalties (2-2 in regular time). Ladislav Krejci was the hero here with his late equalizer.
Another dramatic clash was seen in the finals against Denmark, regular time ending 1-1, extra-time in a 2-2 draw, then ultimately won on penalties.
Kosovo Might Miss Some Veteran Players
Kosovo had the same path as their upcoming opponents, finishing the WC 2026 Qualifiers in 2nd place in Group B behind Switzerland with three wins, two draws and one loss to secure place in the playoffs.
They caused massive upset in the semifinals by defeating favored Slovakia 4-3 in Bratislava, striking mostly through counter-attacks here, ending the match with 1.11-1.75 xG and 9-21 shots.
Kosovo had no strength to pull another surprise win in the finals, losing to Turkey 1-0 in front of the home crowd. Vedad Muriqi missed a big opportunity to score a late equalizer and force extra-time.

Vaclav Cerny was out of contention here due to a ligament injury. Patrick Schick is expected to lead the charge here. He is currently at 25 goals for the national team.
Kosovo (4-4-2) Arijanet Muric; Mergim Vojvoda, Lumbardh Dellova, Kreshnik Hajrizi, Albian Hajdari, Dion Gallapeni; Elvis Rexhbecaj, Veldin Hodza, Florent Muslija, Fisnik Asllani; Albion Rrahmanni
Kosovo's best player Vedat Muriqi was not called up for this match after he had an exhausting season with Mallorca. Also, Milot Rashica is injured.
Verdict
Kosovo might lack motivation here, with their players coming off a long season and already having vacations on their minds. The Czech Republic are backed to win and secure another confidence boost ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
