Turkey vs North Macedonia prediction 01.06.2026 | International Friendly

These teams last met in 2017 in a friendly match, which ended in a goalless draw. Looking further back, these teams have met a total of six times. Turkey managed to win three and North Macedonia once. 

When it comes to the number of goals, four out of six H2H games ended with three or more goals, with both teams scoring in the same number of games (four). 

Turkey won 1:0 against Kosovo and Romania in the previous two games. While they undoubtedly have talented players up front, they really struggled to convert the chances they created. Still, we believe they will score here, but we also think they should keep a clean sheet. In the past four games, they have only allowed two goals, both against Spain. 

Meanwhile, North Macedonia have been atrocious offensively, failing to score in the past three and in five of the past seven games across competitions. Also, the Lynxes had four goalless draws in their past seven games across competitions, which says a lot about their defensive style of play. 

In the previous two friendlies, at least one team failed to score. Considering the trend in previous H2H games and all the above, especially North Macedonia's atrocious offensive output, we believe at least one team will fail to score. 

1. Turkey kept a clean sheet in three of the past four games
2. North Macedonia had four goalless draws in the past seven games across competitions
3. North Macedonia failed to score in the past three matches
4. The last two H2H games finished with at least one of the teams failing to score
