About this match

**Austria rolls at home after a mixed bag — Kosovo's upset hunters come calling.** The Austrians have all the noise (3-1 win vs Israel, but that 0-3 shocker in Spain), while Kosovo's form is genuinely sharp (3W in their last five, though the loss to Czechia stings). 🏟️

Austria's midfield depth is hit hard with key names sidelined, but **M. Sabitzer** and **N. Seiwald** should keep things ticking. Kosovo counters with **V. Muriqi** leading the line — they've got the pace to trouble Austria's backline if things open up.

Key storylines:

- **Austria's injury pile** forces the hosts to shuffle their engine room, but home advantage at Ernst Happel is a real asset
- **Kosovo's attacking form** (6 goals in last two games) tests a stretched Austrian defense
- **M. Arnautović** trying to spark the front three after the Spain humbling

Expected lineups:

- **Austria**: A. Schlager, P. Lienhart, K. Danso, S. Posch, M. Sabitzer, N. Seiwald, P. Wimmer, R. Schmid, C. Baumgartner, M. Arnautović
- **Kosovo**: A. Murić, D. Gallapeni, L. Dellova, A. Hajdari, F. Muslija, E. Rexhbeçaj, L. Avdullahu, F. Asllani, V. Muriqi

Prediction:

**Austria 2-1 Kosovo**. Home edge + injuries or not, they've got enough craft to squeeze past Kosovo's spirited but inconsistent outfit. Slight lean Austria. ⚽
