What's at stake. Kosovo sit second with 4 points from three games, three behind Austria and level with Rep. Of Ireland. A win would put them level on points with Austria. Austria lead the group on 7 points, three clear of Kosovo.

Away Austria score 1.2 and concede 1.8 a game, with one clean sheet and three goalless outings, averaging 9.7 shots (3.9 on target), 3.5 corners, 1.6 cards and 54% possession.

Where it pulls both ways. Their xG suggests an open game and both sides' records put over 2.5 goals at 45%.
The case against. Not everything agrees on goals: their records put over 2.5 goals at 45%.
The read. No side to back. An open game. Nothing separates them clearly enough to back a side. Their xG points to an open game.
The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: Kosovo or Both Teams Score (no side to back); Kosovo or Draw (1UP) (no side to back); Kosovo or Over 1.5 Goals (no side to back). Predicted score: Kosovo 2-1 Austria (10% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (an open game).
