Our prediction for the match North Macedonia vs Faroe Islands
The "Lions" made their debut in major tournaments at Euro 2024. Their journey to the next World Cup was cut short by Portugal in the final playoff round, though they sensationally defeated Italy away prior to that. Last year, however, they fell short against England, the Netherlands, and Ukraine. Meanwhile, the "Sheep Breeders" did not deliver any surprises, managing only two draws and six losses.
Milevski and his squad have performed excellently in the Nations League. They started with a draw in the Faroe Islands but have since won all their matches, becoming the undisputed leaders of the group. Against Latvia, Serafimov scored the only goal of the game in the 57th minute.
The mentioned 1-1 draw remains the biggest achievement for Håkan Ericson's team. They subsequently lost in Latvia, with both October matches ending in draws. However, on Thursday, they achieved a surprising victory over Armenia away, climbing to second place!
