Scotland vs North Macedonia Preview

On MD4, Scotland lost to Slovenia 2-1 after second-half goals from Aljosa Matko and Danijel Sturm clinched a 2-1 win at Hampden Park for the visitors. That result means the Tartan Army need a win on Friday to reignite their hopes of earning a playoff berth.

Meanwhile, North Macedonia are almost certain to be relegated. A defeat tonight will seal their fate with the Lynxes enduring a rotten run of five consecutive international losses. Goce Sedloski’s side have failed to score in that run. In fact, they haven’t been on target in all eight of their 2026 fixtures.

Scotland vs North Macedonia Prediction

It’s been an indifferent start for Scotland boss Sebastien Pocognoli but the sole win during his tenure came in the reverse fixture and with North Macedonia entertaining a miserable run of form, we fancy a Scott McTominay-inspired Tartan Army to deliver Pocognoli a comfortable victory.
