Kosovo just missed out on automatic promotion thanks to the 2-1 defeat to the Czech Republic on Thursday. Having taken the lead, Kosovo were unable to hold on and will have to try their luck in the play-offs if they are to qualify for their first major tournament.
The Three Lions sealed their passage to next summer’s Euro 2020 finals with a comfortable 7-0 win over Montenegro. England have won six of their seven qualifiers with just a 2-1 loss to the Czech Republic blotting their perfect record. Southgate will be hoping for a quieter game than England’s 5-3 win in their last match with Kosovo.

Ox in the Box
With qualification now assured, this is a good opportunity for Southgate to give lesser featured players a chance to impress. Oxlade-Chamberlain has been featuring more for Liverpool in recent weeks after returning from his long-term injury. He scored in his last England game before coming off early and should feature against Kosovo.
Oxlade-Chamberlain to score – 4/1 – BET HERE.
First Goal for Maddison
James Maddison made his first appearance for the England senior team last time out. It’s been a long-awaited debut for the in-form Leicester man but with Euro 2020 qualification now in the bag, Maddison may be handed his first start. He is a set-piece specialist and has an eye for goal from range and so has every chance of getting on the scoresheet.
Maddison to score – 7/2 – BET HERE.
Kosovo vs England Score Prediction
This is now officially a dead rubber with nothing to play for. Kosovo were wide open and fearless against England which lead to the crazy 5-3 scoreline last time these two teams met. With nothing to lose, Kosovo may approach this in a similar fashion but will surely be punished by an England side likely to be full of fringe players looking to impress. If England can cut out their defensive mistakes, they should be able to keep Kosovo to a single goal.
