Turkey will look to continue their excellent run of form when they welcome North Macedonia to Istanbul for this international friendly. As North Macedonia do not seem to be at their sharpest, we predict a 3-1 home win. The Turks head into the clash full of confidence after back-to-back wins over Romania and Kosovo, with Real Madrid star Arda Guler and Juventus youngster Kenan Yildiz expected to play key attacking roles. Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu misses out through injury, but Turkey still possess plenty of firepower up front. Vincenzo Montella’s men have won seven of their last ten matches in all competitions, averaging 2.1 goals per game while producing an impressive 2.20 points per game overall.
North Macedonia, meanwhile, travel to Istanbul on a six-game winless streak after playing out a goalless draw with Ireland in their latest friendly. Napoli midfielder Eljif Elmas remains the key creative force for the visitors, but they have struggled badly away from home of late, averaging only 0.5 goals per game on the road. North Macedonia have won just two of their last ten matches overall, while their expected goals figures also highlight attacking issues. The only previous meeting between the two sides ended in a goalless draw, but Turkey appear much stronger heading into this encounter.
As Turkey are in excellent form and possess far greater attacking quality, Home Win should be considered, alongside Arda Guler to Score or Assist and Over 2.5 goals (Turkey’s recent matches average 3.5 goals per game).
This match will be played on Monday 1 June 2026 at 17:30.
