Kosovo host Andorra at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Prishtina on Tuesday for the Euro 2024 qualifiers as both sides look to pick up their first win of the campaign.
The Dardanians drew with Israel in their opening game earlier in the week. An own goal from Elazar Dasa in the 36th minute put them in front, but Dor Peretz equalized for the Blues and Whites in the second half.
Andorra, meanwhile, lost to Romania 2-0 in their opening game as goals from Dennis Man and Denis Alibec sunk the Tricolors.
Following the opening round of games, Kosovo are in third place with just one point while Andorra are second from the bottom.
Kosovo manager Alain Giresse could make a few changes to his lineup ahead of their next qualifying game, with Betim Fazliji coming back into defense to beef it up and Florent Hadergjonaj gunning for a place at right-back.
Former Lazio midfielder Valon Berisha is also in contention for a place in midfield, along with Reims star Arbër Zeneli, the second-highest scorer in Kosovo’s history.

Kosovo vs Andorra Prediction
Kosovo are a young and talented side with many of their players having plied their trade in Europe’s big leagues. This is helping them achieve results collectively and the Dardanians are better for it.
Andorra, ranked a lowly 153 in the world, have never been able to produce world-class talents, partly due to their tiny population, while their recent run of form has been very poor.
A home win seems likely.
Prediction: Kosovo 1-0 Andorra

Kosovo vs Andorra Team News
Having seen his side avoid defeat in the Middle East in their opening match, Giresse may choose to make no alterations to his starting XI at Pristhina City Stadium on Tuesday.
However, the former France international will be expecting much more from his offensive players, with vice-captain Vedat Muriqi hoping to extend his goalscoring tally having bagged 23 goals in 45 caps for his country.
Andorra, meanwhile, will have to make at least one change to their starting line-up, with Rebes set to serve a one-match suspension after receiving two bookings against Romania.
Marc Pujol, who will celebrate his 41st birthday in August later this year, could come into the engine room to make his 107th cap for his country, while Marc Garcia provides an option to freshen things up in defence.
Kosovo vs Andorra Lineups
Kosovo:

Andorra:
Alvarez; Rubio, Llovera, Alavedra, Garcia; Palau, Vales, Pujol, Cervos; Vieira, Rosa
Kosovo vs Andorra Odds
We say: Kosovo 2-0 Andorra
Andorra undoubtedly provide the majority of their opponents with a more disciplined task than they managed to in previous years, but they clearly lack individual quality to hurt teams on a regular basis.
With Romania simultaneously hosting Belarus, Kosovo will not want to lose further ground on one of their main rivals for the second automatic qualification spot in Group I, and we expect them to claim a relatively comfortable victory.
