- Venue: St. Jakob-Park (Basel)
Switzerland are without a loss in eight qualifying matches but still didn't secure playing in Germany next year. Switzerland and Romania have 16 points and both teams are very close to clinch the two top spots as they are four points ahead of the next on the table, Israel. In the last five matches, Switzerland have one win and four draws. On Wednesday, they played 1-1 against Israel. Switzerland had a great opportunity to win as the teams met on a neutral field for obvious reasons, but Murat Yakin's team didn't play well, especially in the second half.
Kosovo are six points behind the group leaders, Romania and Switzerland. They can qualify for EURO only if they win both remaining games and Switzerland loses both. Kosovo won the last two matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 at home against Israel. The home side played well in that game and deserved to win. Now, they will go to Switzerland, where they will try to win and keep the chance for EURO.
Switzerland vs Kosovo pick: Over 2.5 goals
Most Swiss games are high-scoring. Actually, they were on the run of nine games with three or more goals until the previous match against Israel. On the other hand, Kosovo went over 2.5 goals in three of the last five games. Over 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

Switzerland team news
After a draw against Israel, Swiss head coach Murat Yakin wasn't satisfied. He said, "We saw two very distinct halves. During the first, we scored and constantly created danger. We were, on the other hand, too passive after the break. We had chances on breakups to double the lead. In the end, we should have held the 1-0. Despite everything, we must remain positive. We still have our fate in our hands. This 1-1 is not a bad result as long as Israel is still 4 points behind."
In the previous game, Edimilson Fernandes got the red card, so he will miss the upcoming match.
