Our prediction for this Euro 2024 match:
After holding Italy to a 1-1 draw in Skopje, North Macedonia will look to keep their EURO 2024 qualification hopes alive when they face Malta at Ta’Qali National Stadium. Blagoja Milevski’s troops are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run in Group C and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Maltese. With no fresh injury concerns to report, Blagoja Milevski is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with the Azzurri.
Malta, on the other hand, are not enjoying a qualifying campaign to remember, with the team losing each of their four group games. Given their difficulties in front of goal, we predict that North Macedonia are going to pick up vital three points from Tuesday’s clash. Experienced defender Steve Borg is banned for the hosts due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Highlighted Team (North Macedonia):
Former Yugoslavian republic North Macedonia became member of both FIFA and UEFA in 1994 and they have been competing on the international stage ever since. The Crveni Risovi rolled over Slovenia (4-1) in their first ever official match and the team recorded their biggest win on November 9, 11996, with the team crushing minnows Liechtenstein 11-1 in Eschen-Mauren.
The North Macedonians have yet to qualify for the finals of a major tournament despite the fact that several high-profile footballers played for the former Yugoslav republic. Goran Pandev is undisputedly the team’s most notable player as he played for the likes of Lazion, Inter, Napoli and Galatasaray during his professional career.
Pandev scored his 28th and 29th goal for North Macedonia in a 3-0 win over Belarus in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. However, Goce Seldloski is the most capped player (100). North Macedonia welcome their rivals at Philip II Arena and they wear red shirts with yellow stripe and red shorts when playing at home ground. The colour of their away kits is white.
