North Macedonia vs Malta Predictions
North Macedonia ended their Nations League campaign in disappointing fashion, but I'm backing they get Euro 2024 qualifying off to a winning start. Malta aren't the best travellers and are tipped for defeat.
- North Macedonia have won 2 of their last 4 competitive home matches.
- North Macedonia have won 3 of their 4 previous matches against Malta.
- Malta have lost 5 of their last 7 away matches.
Head to Head
North Macedonia hold a 3-0 head to head record over Malta. The sides drew 1-1 when they last met in a friendly in 2010.
North Macedonia Form
North Macedonia's UEFA Nations League ended with back-to-back defeats to Georgia 2-0 and Bulgaria 1-0 in September last year.
It meant they finished in third spot in League C Group 4 with seven points from six matches.
Since then, having also missed out on a place at the World Cup, Blagoja Milevski's side have played three friendlies.
They lost 1-0 to Saudi Arabia in Ocober and drew 1-1 with Finland and lost 3-1 to Azerbaijan in November.

Verdict
North Macedonia aren't a big price, but they should have too much talent for Malta. In a game lacking much value, take the odds available for a home win.
