North Macedonia will be looking to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Switzerland and Slovenia when they take on Scotland in the Nations League round 3. The hosts are on a ten-game winless run in all competitions and managed only 0.68 xG in their 2-0 loss to Slovenia. Enis Bardhi and Hristijan Maleski are both pushing for a starting berth, but North Macedonia have scored just 0.20 goals per game across their last 10 matches and failed to score in eight of them.
Scotland, meanwhile, are also searching for a response after a 3-0 defeat to Switzerland extended their winless run to four games. Napoli ace Scott McTominay remains in the recovery room, while defender Jack Hendry is suspended following his red card against the Swiss. Scotland have been far more reliable away from home, winning 50% of their last four matches and conceding only 0.25 goals per game.
Considering Scotland’s superior away record and North Macedonia’s severe attacking problems, Away Win is our main betting tip for this matchup. Additionally, Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals also looks appealing given North Macedonia’s low-scoring matches.
This Nations League match will be played on Saturday 3 October 2026 at 19:45.
