Kosovo defender Ilir Krasniqi believes Israel will struggle to contain his teammate Vedat Muriqi in their upcoming Nations League match. Israel hosts Kosovo on Thursday, seeking their first points in the competition after disappointing losses to Austria and Ireland.
Krasniqi acknowledged the difficulty of the upcoming game, stating, "It's a tough game for both teams. We analyzed Israel, they have a good team, and we expect a very difficult match."

However, he expressed strong confidence in Muriqi's ability to impact the game. "He is always gentle, but in the game, he always gives 100%. If he is in form, I don't think you can stop him," Krasniqi stated regarding his star striker.
