Current streaks

Recent form

Kosovo

Kosovo's recent form shows a mixed performance with an equal number of wins and losses in their last six games. They are currently on a two-game winning streak, having defeated Lithuania and Cyprus in their most recent UEFA Nations League matches. Prior to this, Kosovo experienced a challenging period with three consecutive losses against Romania, Norway, and Hungary, conceding eight goals without scoring. The team has shown impressive offensive capabilities in their last two games, particularly in their 4-0 victory over Cyprus, which stands out as a high-scoring match. Defensively, Kosovo has kept two clean sheets in their last six games, but they've also conceded nine goals overall, indicating some vulnerability at the back. Their goal difference of -2 and the fact that 67% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals suggest that Kosovo's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs.

Cyprus

Cyprus's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a notable downturn in their last two matches. They are currently on a two-game losing streak, conceding 7 goals without scoring in their most recent UEFA Nations League fixtures against Romania and Kosovo. Prior to this, Cyprus enjoyed a brief positive spell with back-to-back wins against Lithuania and San Marino, the latter being a high-scoring 4-1 victory. Their defensive record has been concerning, conceding an average of 2 goals per game over the last six matches, with only one clean sheet. Offensively, they've managed to score 7 goals in 6 games, but 5 of these came in just two matches. The team's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting an open style of play that can lead to both opportunities and vulnerabilities.

Recent home/away form

Kosovo

Kosovo's recent home form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches resulting in one win, three draws, and two losses. Notably, they are currently on a two-game losing streak at home, having failed to score in their most recent matches against Romania and Belarus. Their last home victory came against Israel in November 2023. Kosovo has struggled to find the back of the net, averaging just 0.67 goals per game, while conceding 1.17 goals per match. Defensively, they've managed two clean sheets in this period. The majority of their home games (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards low-scoring affairs. Their most high-scoring game in this period was a 2-2 draw against Switzerland in September 2023, which was also the only match where both teams scored.

Cyprus

Cyprus' recent away form has been a mixed bag, with their last two matches resulting in victories, including a high-scoring 4-1 win against San Marino. However, prior to these wins, they endured a concerning four-game losing streak, during which they conceded a staggering 16 goals, including heavy defeats to Spain (6-0) and Georgia (4-0). Their defensive struggles are evident, with an average of 2.83 goals conceded per game over the last six matches, while they've managed to score 1.33 goals per game. Notably, 83% of their recent away games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for high-scoring encounters. Despite these defensive woes, Cyprus has shown resilience by securing a clean sheet in their most recent away match against Lithuania, potentially signaling an improvement in their defensive organization.
