North Macedonia to scrape past Kosovo in Euro 2021 play-offs

North Macedonia to scrape past Kosovo in Euro 2021 play-offs
2793

On Thursday night, North Macedonia host Kosovo in a vital Euro 2021 play-off, with both teams eying a spot in the final. The winners will face either Georgia or Belarus for a spot at Euro 2021.

North Macedonia head into this clash on the back of a three-game unbeaten run, having recorded two victories. A 1-1 draw in Georgia last time out ended a mini-run of two straight wins for the home side.

The game followed a familiar trend for North Macedonia in recent games in the fact it was low-scoring , as five of their previous eight international matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Igor Angelovski’s team have been formidable opponents on home soil of late, winning nine of their previous 11 international games.

Macedonia have been prolific in recent home matches, scoring at least two goals in eight of their previous 11 home matches. Unsurprisingly, six of their previous eight games on home soil have produced over 2.5 goals.

Kosovo heads into this clash in poor recent form, as they have failed to win in five international matches, having suffered defeat in four outings.

A lack of clean sheets has hindered the visitors progress when it comes to getting results, as Kosovo have kept just two clean sheets in their last 13 international matches.

Poor form on their travels has also not helped Kosovo’s chances of success, as they have failed to win any of their previous four matches on their travels, suffering defeats in four of the outings.

Once again, a poor defensive record has cost the visitors on their travels, as they have failed to keep out any their last six opponents on the road.

Forebet predicts that North Macedonia will record a narrow win in a tight contest to book their place in the final of the Euro2021 play-offs.
