The Kosovo national team relies on a high tempo and constant pressure in the opponent's half. Due to the absence of several attacking leaders, the Kosovo side will have to rely on team combinations, involving Milot Rashica and overlapping runs from the fullbacks down the flanks. At home, Kosovo always looks to attack, filling the penalty area with crosses and low balls. To achieve a positive result, the hosts will need to organize their defensive play in front of their own goal and contain the opponents' powerful forwards in aerial duels.

The Ireland national team builds its game around a reliable defense, strict discipline in midfield, and quick counterattacks. The Irish players are traditionally dangerous from corners and free kicks, where their physically imposing defenders constantly pose a threat in the opponent's six-yard box. In the away match, the visitors will look to absorb the initial pressure, close down open spaces, and catch their opponents out with the help of forward Evan Ferguson. To succeed, Ireland will need to control the second balls and keep the hosts' wingers tightly marked.
