Italy North Macedonia betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 5^th position, with 7 points won, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. In the penultimate round, they have won an away match against Israel by (0‑1). In the last round, they have tied a home match against Albania by (1‑1). In the last 4 WC Qualification Europe away matches FYR Macedonia has a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 8 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 8 matches for the WC Qualification Europe, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 2 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 8 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Macedonia heads into this match after a 1-1 draw against Albania, their second consecutive match without a loss in this stage. In this away match, their objective is to not have a big loss, so coach Igor Angelovski should use a more defensive strategy, prioritising counter attack, as Nestorovski is a very quick player and great at getting the ball forward. Unlike their opponent, they have issues in both ends, as they have averages of 1,3 scored and 1,4 conceded. In this match, they should have all their main players available.

Confirmed Lineup: Stole Dimitrievski, Darko Velkovski, Visar Musliu, Stefan Ristovski, Ezgjan Alioski, Stefan Spirovski, Enis Bardhi, Marjan Radeski, Goran Pandev, Ilija Nestorovski, Ferhan Hasani.
Coach: B. Milevski.
