Blagoja Milevski's side remains unbeaten in the current qualifying cycle, having drawn with Wales (1-1) and Belgium (1-1), and secured victories over Liechtenstein (3-0) and Kazakhstan (1-0). Notably, in their last 15 World Cup qualifying matches, North Macedonia has suffered only two defeats – against Germany and Portugal (8 wins, 5 draws). The team is currently in second place in the standings with eight points.

Liechtenstein

In the previous round, Konrad Fünfstück's team failed to put up a fight against Belgium at home, suffering a heavy 0-6 defeat. As a result, Liechtenstein extended their losing streak in World Cup qualifying to eight matches, failing to score in each of them.

Match Prediction: North Macedonia vs. Liechtenstein

Despite their heavy home defeat to Belgium in the previous round of the current qualifying cycle, I expect Liechtenstein to avoid a similarly large loss this time. North Macedonia does not boast a record of convincing home victories, having won by more than two goals only twice in their last 26 home World Cup qualifying matches.

Liechtenstein has occasionally shown the ability to put up a respectable fight against their opponents, even away from home. In their last 18 away World Cup qualifying matches, the team has lost by more than three goals only six times, and in three of those cases, the opponents were Germany, Spain, and Italy.

I anticipate significant improvement from the visitors compared to their last outing, and my prediction: Liechtenstein with a handicap (+3.5)
