North Macedonia team overview
Milevski’s men have started the qualification cycle strongly, remaining unbeaten across four matches. After the 3-0 opening-day win over Liechtenstein, they held Wales and Belgium to impressive 1-1 draws before edging Kazakhstan 1-0 away. In September, they skipped an official qualifier due to scheduling and instead played a friendly against Saudi Arabia, losing 2-1.
Striker Bojan Miovski has been their standout performer, contributing two goals and an assist in the group stage.

Prediction
North Macedonia have combined resilience and defensive solidity, conceding just two goals in four qualifiers. Liechtenstein, by contrast, have struggled badly at both ends, failing to score while shipping 14 goals. With four straight clean sheets against Liechtenstein and home advantage, North Macedonia are overwhelming favourites. Expect a comfortable victory for North Macedonia and a strong chance of another clean sheet.
Three reasons we expect BTTS - NO
- Liechtenstein have failed to score in all four World Cup qualifiers so far.
- Liechtenstein have also failed to score in four consecutive away matches against North Macedonia.
- Overall, Liechtenstein have failed to find the net in eight of their last ten World Cup qualifying away games.
