North Macedonia
Latvia will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Faroe Islands when they take on North Macedonia in their third group game. The Latvians quickly bounced back from a heavy 4-1 loss to Armenia and, no doubt, the triumph over Faroe Islands gave them a confidence boost. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Paolo Nicolato is unlikely to make changes to the team that won the second group game.
Meanwhile, North Macedonia proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Armenia and seeing that Jagiellonia forward Darko Churlinov has overcome his injury, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Blagoja Milevski’s troops once again. Bear in mind, though, that defender Gjoko Zajkov serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in the second group game. In their last meeting in Riga North Macedonia recorded a 2-0 win over Latvia and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
