North Macedonia hosts Belgium in the capital Skopje in a match from Group J of the World Cup qualifiers. Let’s see our preview in these High-odds football predictions this weekend.
North Macedonia are leading the group standings after winning four points in their first two matches against Liechtenstein and Wales. In their last match they hosted the Dragons at home, but missed a great chance to win – Wales’ David Brooks equalised in the 96th minute of the match. Surely the Macedonians were heartbroken because of that.
There are some excellent players in North Macedonia’s squad. Torino’s Eljif Elmas, Bodrum’s Enis Bardhi and Girona’s Bojan Milovski can create problems for any team. Meanwhile Valencia’s goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski is giving the team some assurance at this position.
Why are Belgium not the leaders in this group? Because this is going to be their first game in the World Cup qualifiers. The Red Devils’ new coach Rudi Garcia will start his first qualifying campaign with the squad.
Garcia called some of the well-known veterans in the Belgian squad like Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Thomas Meunier, but he also picked young players like Diego Moreira, Malick Fofana and the 17-years old Jorthy Mokio. It’s be interesting to see if they will get any minutes in the upcoming matches against North Macedonia and Wales.
Jeremy Doku’s pace could create a lot of problems to North Macedonia. The Manchester City winger didn’t have the best season, but he remains a speed demon who could easily play in one-to-one situations. The Macedonians need to be extra careful with Doku.
Romelu Lukaku remains Belgium’s top scorer in the history of the national team. Lukaku, who won the Serie A with Napoli, has 88 goals with Belgium’s shirt.
That’s the High-odds football predictions this weekend for the upcoming World Cup qualifier between North Macedonia and Belgium at the Tose Proeski Arena in Skopje. We wish you good luck with this one!
