Malta vs North Macedonia Prediction 12.09.2023

• Competition: EURO Qualification
• Date: 12.09.2023

• Venue: Ta'Qali National Stadium (Ta' Qali)

In recent years, Malta has been trying to make a small breakthrough on the football scene, but they have had little success. In the previous 4 qualifying matches, they lost in each of them. In the middle of June, they were very close to a draw against Ukraine, but they failed to save 0-0 and Ukraine won with a goal from Tsygankov. What can be a positive thing is that Malta registered a victory in a friendly match against Gibraltar. That can bring some confidence for the next matches.

North Macedonia suffered a very difficult match a few months ago against England 7-0. Despite that humiliating result, they are still in the game for at least the 2nd position, but they will have to do much better than what was shown. In the remaining two matches, they won and lost. Triumph against Malta and defeat against Ukraine. What the Macedonians lacked was some preparatory match before this qualification window, and we will see if it turns out that it might have been a mistake.

Malta vs North Macedonia pick: NORTH MACEDONIA TO WIN

N. Macedonia did not have too many problems with Malta in the past. In the 5 matches they played, they won 4 times, except for a friendly match on the island in 2002 when it was 1-1. The imperative to win is very big for the visiting team here. In case of any other result than a triumph, N. Makedonia would probably lose all chances for second place. There are players here who play in strong clubs with undeniable quality, so we expect the guests to reach 3 points.
