Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein enter this qualifier as clear underdogs, but recent home performances suggest they could provide more resistance than expected. Although their opponents in those matches – Hong Kong and Gibraltar – were not the strongest, avoiding defeat in both games is still a confidence boost for the hosts.
Liechtenstein have traditionally struggled against North Macedonia, often suffering heavy defeats. However, their compact defensive style at home may help them limit the damage this time around. Scoring goals remains a challenge, but if they can remain disciplined at the back, they have a chance of keeping the scoreline respectable.
North Macedonia
North Macedonia come into this match in strong form after winning five of their last six Nations League games. Despite this success, they haven’t always won in dominant fashion, with only one of those victories coming by more than a two-goal margin.
Historically, Macedonia have had no trouble dismantling Liechtenstein, often securing wins by four or more goals. However, their tendency to start tournaments cautiously could be a factor here. With their attacking firepower, they should secure a comfortable win, but breaking down a deep-lying Liechtenstein side might not be as straightforward as in previous meetings.
The Betting Verdict
Although North Macedonia are clear favourites, Liechtenstein’s recent resilience at home suggests they can avoid a heavy defeat. The visitors should claim all three points, but a massive scoreline may not be on the cards. Given Macedonia’s history of grinding out results and Liechtenstein’s defensive approach, backing the hosts to keep the margin within two goals looks like a solid betting option.
