The bet we recommend for this match is the ''over 1.5 goals''. Given the type of match and the offensive playing style of the two teams, it’s expectable an open match and with great goal opportunities in both goals. In addition, the national teams display an offensive sector with several qualities, and it’s expectable that they’ll provide a very pleasant friendly.

Preview
Finland and FYR Macedonia face , in what is to be the first friendly match of the year for both teams. There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 07‑09‑2005, the match ended with the final score: Finland (5‑1) FYR Macedonia. FYR Macedonia registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Finland

This is the first friendly match of the year for the home team, after having played 5 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: Finland (3‑0) Estonia, Finland (1‑1) Liechtenstein, Austria (1‑1) Finland, Slovenia (2‑0) Finland and Morocco (0‑1) Finland. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 12 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got a home win against Estonia by (3‑0). In the last 7 home matches Finland has won 2, tied 3 and lost 2. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Finnish national team comes for this match after a 3-0 win against Estonia, adding to their fifth straight win without losing in several competitions. In this friendly against Macedonia, the coach Markku Kanerva should play in 4-4-2 privileging the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the flanks: Fredik Jensen is responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. In the last 10 matches, Finland has scored an average of 1.1 goals and conceded an average of 1.1 goals per match, which means that there are difficulties in the offensive sector. For this match, the coach must choose the usual players.

Confirmed Lineup: Lukáš Hrádecký, Juha Pirinen, Sauli Väisänen, Paulus Arajuuri, Joona Toivio, Rasmus Schüller, Robin Lod, Pyry Soiri, Teemu Pukki, Joel Pohjanpalo.
Coach: T. Sparv, M. Kanerva.

Analysis Macedonia

The away team plays its first friendly match of the year, after having played 3 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: FYR Macedonia (2‑0) Norway, FYR Macedonia (0‑0) Turkey and FYR Macedonia (3‑0) Belarus. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 19 conceded. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got a home win against Norway by (2‑0). In the last 5 away matches FYR Macedonia has won 2, tied 1 and lost 2. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Macedonians comes for this match after a win against Norway, by 2-0, thus adding the second triumph followed in several competitions. It’s important to note that Macedonia have only 2 losses in the last 10 matches, both against Spain. In this match, the coach Igor Angelovski should play in 4-4-2 with Trajkovski and Pandev being the forward players on the team. Yet we warned that Moldova have some competence in both defense and attack: they averaged 1.6 goals and conceded an average of 0.8 goals per match. For this match, the coach summoned his usual players.

Confirmed Lineup: Stole Dimitrievski, Stefan Ristovski, Kire Ristevski, Visar Musliu, Darko Velkovski, Ezgjan Alioski, Stefan Spirovski, Arijan Ademi, Enis Bardhi, Ilija Nestorovski, Goran Pandev.
Coach: B. Milevski.
