Key Stats

  • North Macedonia have lost only two of their last 13 World Cup qualifying matches (W7 D4),
  • North Macedonia have lost only one of their last eight World Cup qualifying matches at home (W3 D4).
  • North Macedonia are unbeaten in their last eight international matches (W6 D2).
  • Bojan Miovski has scored in North Macedonia’s last three international matches.
  • Belgium are unbeaten in the previous four international matches between these teams (W3 D1). This includes a pair of wins in the qualifying tournament for the 2014 World Cup (2-0 a, 1-0 h), their most recent meetings.
  • Belgium are unbeaten in their last 28 World Cup qualifying matches (W23 D5). Since a 2-0 away defeat against Estonia in October 2009.

North Macedonia vs Belgium Prediction

North Macedonia come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Wales at the Tose Proeski Arena in March in a game whereby they took a 91st minute lead via Girona striker Bojan Miovski before David Brooks equalised in the 96th minute via David Brooks. The North Macedonians had began their campaign with a 3-0 annihilation at the hands of Liechtenstein.

They now face a Belgium side that began the Rudi Garcia reign by losing 3-1 to Ukraine in the first-leg of their UEFA Nations League League A/B promotion/relegation playoff tie in March. However, they managed to preserve their top-flight status in European international football with a 3-0 victory in the second-leg.

Belgium have major issues at the moment, and Rudi Garcia hasn’t immediately solved them, but they should still come out on top in a potentially encounter this week.
