If Kosovo manages to secure its second position in the B3 Group of League of Nations, then in March 2027 it will have the opportunity to fight for promotion in A League through play-off.
The Dardanians have 55.6 percent chance of securing participation in this phase, according to published estimates, according to Football Meets Data.
First, however, they must end the group in the second position, and then face one of the League A team playing for survival.
By U-format EFAs, four teams from League A — the two worst teams to finish in third place — and the two best teams to rank fourth. They join the four vice championes of League B groups.
Wells and Croatia likely too high for play-off
According to current estimates, Wales is the most likely team to end up in play-off A/B, with 99.7 percent. Croatia is next with 95.2 percent, while Norway has 70.6 percent.
Serbia is estimated at 63.1 percent, Chekhia at 25.8 percent, and Turkey at 16.2 percent. Germany has 10.7 percent, Denmark 9.3 percent, Greece 6.3 percent, and Belgium only 3.1 percent.
These percentages show that Wales, Croatia and Norway are currently in much more endangered positions, while some of the other names depend on the results of last matches.
Bosnia and Herzegovina secure, Kosovo with 55.6 percent
Even in League B racing for the four countries they send to play-off A/B is interesting.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has already secured participation, 100 percent likely. Next comes Slovenia with 81.4 percent, while Kosovo ranks at 55.6 percent.
Northern Ireland has 50.3 percent, Hungary 49.7 percent, and Ireland 44.4 percent. Scotland, on the other hand, has only 8.7 percent chance of completion at this stage.
This shows that the race for the remaining two countries is still open and the last matches will be crucial. For Kosovo, the challenge to Ireland is of particular importance, as a positive result would help the Dardans ensure their second position in the group.
Who can be Kosovo’s opponents?
Based on current percentages, Wales, Croatia and Norway are the names to be forwarded most to the A League. Serbia, Chekhia, Turkey, Germany, Denmark, Greece and Belgium are also on this stage.
However, this does not mean that all these representatives can be Kosovo’s opponents. Besides the fact that only four teams from the League A will qualify for this play-off, the restrictions of the lot should be taken into account.
Play-off will develop with the round-through system in March 2027. Kosovo, if it secures second place, will hold its first home and return to travel.
At the moment, the Dardanians should focus on securing the second position, while the name of the opponent will be taught after the end of all matches and corresponding lots. /Telegraphy/
