Czechia vs Kosovo prediction 31.05.2026 | International Friendly

Czechia come into this game unbeaten in four of their last five matches across all competitions. Recent results include a 2-2 draw against Denmark, another 2-2 draw versus the Republic of Ireland, both of which secured Czechia’s place in the 2026 World Cup finals. Their only defeat in that sequence came away to the Faroe Islands (lost 1-2).

Miroslav Koubek’s side have continued to show attacking efficiency at home, scoring 11 goals across their last four home fixtures. Players such as Patrik Schick, Tomáš Souček and Václav Černý remain central figures in the squad, with Czechia typically operating in a direct but technically balanced system. 

There are no major confirmed injury concerns heading into the match, although several regular starters could see reduced minutes due to workload management following a long domestic season.

Kosovo arrive in Prague with growing confidence despite narrowly losing 1-0 to Turkey in their latest outing. Before that defeat, they had recorded an impressive 4-3 away victory over Slovakia and collected positive results against Switzerland, Slovenia and Sweden. A 1-0 home defeat to Turkey was particularly difficult to take, as it came in the UEFA Playoffs final, where a victory would have secured Kosovo their first-ever appearance at the World Cup finals.

Under Franco Foda, Kosovo have become significantly more competitive away from home, particularly against mid-tier European nations. They have won three of their last four away matches, including victories over Slovakia, Slovenia and Sweden, demonstrating clear improvement, which implies they are in good position to score at least once on Sunday.

The visitors are expected to rely heavily on the creativity of Edon Zhegrova and the experience of captain Mërgim Vojvoda, while goalkeeper Arijanet Murić remains a key figure between the posts.
