Game Preview

There will be American interest in the European playoff final on Tuesday, as the winner of the Kosovo vs. Turkey clash will be alongside the U.S. in Group D.

Kosovo will have their sights set on reaching the World Cup for the first time. Their record since the start of last year has been strong, losing just once in their previous nine internationals.

Kosovo maintained their dreams of reaching the World Cup after recording a 4-3 win over Slovakia on Thursday. Veldin Hodza opened the scoring, while second-half efforts were netted by Fisnik Asllani, Florent Musija, and Kreshnik Hajrizi.

Turkey haven’t reached the World Cup since finishing third in 2002. Vincenzo Montella’s team have been in strong recent form, including an eye-catching 2-2 draw against Spain late last year.

The nation showed their quality in their semi-final, beating Romania 1-0 on Thursday. Ferdi Kadioglu scored the only goal in the win. Once again, Turkey will be aiming to dominate the ball, and use their pace in the final third of the field.

Kosovo vs. Turkey Picks

Turkey have the better quality in the final third of the field, and that could be decisive as they maintain their 100% record against Kosovo and book their spot at the FIFA World Cup.
