Kosovo vs Switzerland: Head to head statistics
Kosovo vs Switzerland recommended bets
Kosovo vs Switzerland match preview
Switzerland were always likely to cruise through Group I, although they’ll actually be looking to get back to winning ways in Pristina.
Murat Yakın’s team began this campaign with three successive victories, set to make that four on the spin in June, leading Romania 2-0 at Swissporarena, courtesy of Zeki Amdouni’s brace.
But, the Rossocrociati completely collapsed in the dying embers, conceding not once but twice in stoppage time, as Romania, somehow, left Luzern with a share of the spoils.
Nevertheless, Switzerland remain top of the table, very much still on course to qualify for a third successive European Championships.
Kosovo meantime, when the draw was made, were optimistic that they could challenge for a top two finish, although their hopes of that are fading fast.
After four matchdays, the Dardanians are still yet to win, commencing with three successive draws, before suffering a damaging 2-1 defeat against Belarus last time out.
This result saw Alain Giresse sacked as Head Coach, with Primož Gliha set to take charge for the first time here.
Here, anything other than a comfortable Swiss victory at Fadil Vokrri Stadium would be a surprise.

Some familiar faces in this Kosovo team include Burnley goalkeeper Arijanet Muric, Florent Hadergjonaj, once of Huddersfield, and Norwich winger Milot Rashica.
Napoli’s Amir Rrahmani will captain the side, while Vedat Muriqi is set to lead the line, seeking to add to his 24 international goals.
Switzerland team news
Despite plying his trade at Chicago Fire these days, Xherdan Shaqiri remains Switzerland’s primary creator.
Manuel Akanji will partner Fabian Schär at centre-back, while Zeki Amdouni is looking to continue his ridiculous scoring record for his country, having netted five times in just five senior appearances so far.
