Our prediction for this Nations League match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Faroe Islands, North Macedonia will look to record their first win in Group 4 when they take on Armenia on Tuesday evening. The Macedonians produced a fine display in their opener, but eventually failed to turn their dominance into victory. Experienced winger Ezgjan Alioski, who played for Leeds United in the past, is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Armenians, on the other hand, rolled over Latvia 4-1 in their opener to climb to top position in the standings. The former Soviet republic, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling North Macedonia’s party at National Arena Toshe Proeski. In their last meeting in a competitive match North Macedonia defeated Armenia 3-1. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
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.
