Faroe Islands vs North Macedonia Prediction: Visitors to secure away win

The Faroe Islands and North Macedonia have had a tough time of it recently, but both will be looking to put that behind them when they face each other in this UEFA Nations League clash.

Both teams had respectable if unremarkable campaigns in the last Nations League, but they will now be targeting promotion from League C in a group that also contains Armenia and Latvia. Read on for my Faroe Islands vs North Macedonia prediction, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Football Odds

Team News

Bojan Miovski has just made a big money move to Girona and could lead the line for North Macedonia in this one, while head coach Blagoja Milevski may also hand a debut to Mario Ilievski.

For the Faroe Islands, striker Joan Simun Edmundsson plays his domestic football in North Macedonia but the veteran may not start for his nation.

Faroe Islands vs North Macedonia Odds

North Macedonia can be backed at 19/20 for the victory, while the Faroe Islands are 3/1 outsiders and the draw is available at 11/5.

Over 2.5 goals is on offer at 11/8, while both teams to score is priced at 11/10 and it is 5/2 for over 1.5 goals in the first half.

North Macedonia @ 19/20

North Macedonia have produced some big results on the international stage in recent years, most notably knocking Italy out of qualifying for the Qatar World Cup.

They put in a disappointing Euro 2024 qualifying campaign however, losing four of their eight games.

It wasn’t all doom and gloom though, as they held England and Italy to stalemates during that run and should be too strong for this Faroe Islands team.

With the likes of Elif Elmas, Ezgjan Alioski and Bojan Miovski in their squad, they possess plenty of top-level players and Valencia’s Stole Dimitrievski represents a rock-solid goalkeeper.

They also face a Faroe Islands side that have lost 11 of their last 13 games and have only scored in three of those outings.

North Macedonia have lost eight of their last nine away games but there can’t be many better opportunities to put that right than a visit to these goal-shy hosts.

Elif Elmas to score anytime @ 16/5

Only captain Enis Bardhi has scored more goals in the current North Macedonia squad than Elif Elmas, who has netted 12 times in 60 appearances for his nation.

While he is yet to find the net for new club RB Leipzig, his move there from Napoli shows the level that he is operating at and he is fancied to get on the scoresheet in this one.
