World Cup Qual: Sweden vs Kosovo 13/10/2025

Betting on Cards

A do-or-die match between teams that are both fighting for second place in the group, as Switzerland now seems unlikely to lose the top spot.

Sweden are desperate for a result, having collected just one point from three matches, including a disappointing 0–2 home defeat to Switzerland. Kosovo beat Sweden at home a month ago, have four points, and would be satisfied with a draw.

I expect a very intense match, with the hosts determined to “respond” to the visitors’ often physical style of play. In last month’s game, which Kosovo won, there were seven yellow cards and one red. The referee is the experienced and strict Dutchman Danny Makkelie, and the line looks perfectly reasonable with excellent odds.
