North Macedonia vs Slovenia prediction 16.11.2026 | UEFA Nations League

North Macedonia have struggled considerably in the Nations League, losing all five group matches and collecting zero points. 

Their latest outing resulted in a 2-1 defeat against Scotland, which despite them finally managing to get on the scoresheet, extended their losing streak in the competition.

The hosts have also been dealing with several squad changes. Bojan Miovski, Gjoko Zajkov and Andrej Stojchevski are among the notable players missing from the November squad. Their absence further limits the options available to Sedloski.

Slovenia, on the other hand, have enjoyed a considerably better Nations League campaign, collecting eight points from five matches and currently occupying a promotion play-off spot.

Boštjan Cesar's side have remained competitive against stronger opposition, including Switzerland, against whom they earned a goalless draw in the previous round. They also secured an important 2-1 away victory against Scotland earlier in October.

One significant absence is expected to be Benjamin Šeško, who has been left out of the November squad because of an injury. Jure Balkovec is another notable omission. Nevertheless, Slovenia still have attacking options such as Žan Vipotnik and Aljoša Matko, who has contributed two goals and two assists during the campaign.
