Prediction: 1-1
Wales
All eyes will be on National Arena Toshe Proeski when North Macedonia and Wales lock horns in a highly-anticipated World Cup qualifier. North Macedonia faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Liechtenstein, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Wales. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Blagoja Milevski is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Liechtenstein. A man to watch in the home team will be Girona striker Bojan Miovski, who opened his goal-scoring account in the Rheinpark Stadion triumph.
The Dragons, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Kazakhstan, but beating North Macedonia in Skopje is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at “Toshe Proeski” and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. North Macedonia defenders should have pacey Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson at bay.
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.
