Match Prediction

We can’t pass up the opportunity to back Under 2.5 Goals at odds of -147. This looks like an attractive bet, with the teams set to play out a low-scoring World Cup qualifying encounter.

Team news can have a significant impact on the betting odds, and we factor this in alongside recent form and the latest World Cup qualifying stats when making our football predictions.

Key Kosovo vs Slovenia stats:

  • The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 6 of the last 10 Kosovo games at home.
  • The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 11 of the last 19 Kosovo games at home.
  • The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 6 of the last 10 Slovenia games on the road.
  • The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 3 of the last 5 Slovenia games.
Under 2.5 Probability

According to the odds, there’s a 59.5% likelihood of our pick winning. However, our experts think that the probability sits between 65-70% taking all factors into consideration. That means we’re regarding it as a value wager.
