North Macedonia vs Ukraine Prediction
North Macedonia Form
In the previous three matches, North Macedonia lost 1-3 against Azerbaijan, beat Malta by 2-1 and won 1-0 against Faroe Islands. North Macedonia won twice in their last six internationals, as they also drew two and suffered two defeats. They hit the target nine times while letting six goals in.
Ukraine Form
Ukraine have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Scotland, they gained a point in a 0-0 draw, before coming up short against England, who ran out 2-0 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 3-3 with Germany. Ukraine only have one paltry win to show from the last six internationals. These six matches also produced a record of two draws and three defeats, as they were outscored by nine goals to nine.
Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, Ukraine get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in North Macedonia.
North Macedonia scored in their last four matches on the bounce.
Ukraine have not been victorious in any of their last three games.
