Kosovo Team News

In their last competitive game, Kosovo lost 2-1 to Belarus away from home. The home team took the lead only in the 73rd minute and doubled it two minutes later. The only goal for the visiting team was scored by Vedat Muriqi from the penalty spot in the 87th minute, after which there were no more changes to the score.

Before that match, they played three draws in the group stage with Israel, Andorra, and Romania. They currently occupy the fifth position in the table.

Kosovo’s coach Alain Giresse is expected to stick with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with the captain and Napoli defender Amir Rrahmani set to be joined in the back four by Mergim Vojvoda, Fidan Aliti, and Leart Paqarada.

Bersant Celina has not been called up to Giresse’s 27-man squad this month, so Florent Muslija could be tasked with playing in the number 10 role in between wingers Edon Zhegrova and Besiktas recruit Milot Rashica, who is in line to earn his 50th international cap. Vedat Muriqi, who has scored 24 goals in 48 international appearances, is set to lead the line, while as many as six uncapped players, including Hamburger SV defender Valon Zumberi, will be hoping to make their debut on Saturday.

Switzerland Team News

Switzerland, in their last match, played to a 2-2 draw against Romania at home. They took a two-goal lead in the first half through Zeki Amdouni, but the visiting team managed to score two goals near the end of the match to equalize.

Before that match, they recorded victories against Belarus, Israel, and Andorra, and they currently sit in the first position in the table with 10 points, two more than second-placed Romania.

Noah Okafor, Cedric Itten, Ardon Jashari, and Dan Ndoye have all been recalled to the senior squad after not being selected in June for various reasons, while Young Boys midfielder Filip Ugrinic has received his first senior call-up; all five players are in contention to feature against Kosovo.

Bayer Leverkusen’s Granit Xhaka, who was one of eight Swiss players who changed clubs over the summer, is expected to start as captain in center-midfield alongside Denis Zakaria and either Remo Freuler or Djibril Sow. With Breel Embolo sidelined for several months with an ACL injury, Burnley’s Zeki Amdouni – who has scored five goals in as many international appearances – is set to start up front, with support provided in attack by Xherdan Shaqiri and Ruben Vargas.
