What can you expect from the Slovakia vs Kosovo World Cup Qualifier?
Slovakia will be hoping to rediscover their shooting boots for the upcoming play-offs and the World Cup, if they progress that far. Despite finishing second in their qualifying section, Francesco Calzona’s crew scored just six goals during six group encounters.
At the other end of the pitch, though, the Falcons’ (Sokoli) tight defence has proved to be a huge asset, especially at home. They may have succumbed 6-0 away to Germany in their final group game, but they won all their home matches (including against Germany) to nil and haven’t conceded in Bratislava since October 2024.
Slovakia memorably reached the knockout stages on their only previous World Cup appearance in South Africa 2010. However, they didn’t build on that performance, failing to even reach the play-off phase during the last three qualifying campaigns.
While Slovakia is hopeful of making a return to the global stage this time around, Kosovo is striving to pull off a miracle and reach its first-ever World Cup Finals. The Balkan nation, which won just one game during their first two qualifying campaigns (2018 & 2022), has come on leaps and bounds and notched away wins over Iceland, Sweden, and Slovenia during the course of 2025.
