- 科索沃在过去的五场比赛中保持了三场零失球
- 冰岛排名比科索沃高29位
- 冰岛在最近五场客场比赛中有四场只进了一球或更少
科索沃和冰岛将展开激烈的季后赛
科索沃和冰岛将在两回合比赛中对决，以确定哪支球队将参加乙级联赛，哪支球队在国家联赛中将降级为丙级联赛。
科索沃以强劲的状态进入这场比赛，在过去的五场比赛中赢得了四场。他们唯一的挫折是对阵罗马尼亚，两次以3比0失利——尽管最近的一次失利是欧足联在球场上以0比0的比分宣布的，原因与足球无关。作为一个正在崛起的国家，科索沃将需要战胜冰岛，以确保晋级乙级联赛。
冰岛已经建立了一个对更强大的国家来说棘手的对手的声誉，尤其是对英格兰，他们在过去的四次会议中两次击败了英格兰。然而，他们最近的国家联赛表现平平，只获得了7分，其中6分来自2比0战胜垫底的黑山队。他们在对阵威尔士和土耳其的比赛中防守艰难，在四场比赛中丢了13球，尽管两队的水平都高于科索沃。
面对排名较低的对手，冰岛队往往在后场更紧凑、更有纪律。这看起来是一场竞争激烈的比赛，很可能会出现低得分的情况。
- Kosovo have kept three clean sheets in their last five matches

Kosovo and Iceland set for tight Playoff battle
Kosovo and Iceland face off over two legs to determine which team will compete in League B and which will drop to League C in the Nations League.
Kosovo come into this fixture in strong form, having won four of their last five matches. Their only setback was against Romania, losing 3-0 twice—though the most recent defeat was awarded by UEFA due to non-football-related reasons after a 0-0 result on the pitch. As a nation on the rise, Kosovo will need to overcome Iceland to secure promotion to League B.
Iceland have built a reputation as a tricky opponent for stronger nations, particularly against England, whom they have beaten twice in their last four meetings. However, their latest Nations League campaign was underwhelming, with seven points earned—six of which came from two 2-0 wins over bottom side Montenegro. They struggled defensively against Wales and Turkey, conceding 13 goals in four matches, though both teams are of a higher calibre than Kosovo.
Against lower-ranked opponents, Iceland tend to be more compact and disciplined at the back. This looks to be a tightly contested matchup, with a low-scoring affair likely.
