The teams met just a month ago, with North Macedonia winning at home (2:0). Remarkably, they scored both goals despite being reduced to ten men in the first half.
The team played earlier this week, drawing 2:2 with the Faroe Islands. Notably, Armenia were significantly superior to their opponents, registering twice as many shots. There are no issues with the attack—1.54 xG and two goals scored—but significant defensive problems persist, conceding twice with just 0.63 xGA.
The visitors, on the other hand, won their last match 3:0, easily dismantling Latvia's defence, taking 14 shots, with 7 on target. The Macedonians are clear favourites in their group, having scored six goals and conceding only once in three matches played.
In the last three encounters, the visitors have emerged victorious each time, with a goal difference of 10:1 across these games. We believe North Macedonia will capitalise on their superior quality and secure all three points in this match.
