Ukraine vs North Macedonia Prediction: Ukraine will be able to get a confident victory

Prediction for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match which will take place on October 14. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Before the seventh round, the national team of Ukraine was in third place in Group C with seven points. They have the same points in the national teams of Italy and Northern Macedonia. Still, the Italians have a game less played, and the goal difference is better with a victory in the league, so they are ahead of Ukraine. In September, Ukraine played a draw with the English in a conditional home match and lost to Italy with a score of 1:2 in Milan. It should be noted that in the match against the Italians, all the goals came in the first half. Overall, they have two wins with one draw and two losses in five games.

The Balkans have also played five games in the current qualifying tournament and have the same 7 points as the Ukrainians. Still, they are second to the opponents regarding head-to-head results and goal difference. In case of defeat in the upcoming game, the Balkans can forget about the final tournament of the Euro. Even a draw will not suit the future guests, given that in the first round, Macedonians lost to the Ukrainians and, ahead of the Balkans, have a more difficult schedule than Ukraine. In September, the national team of Northern Macedonia played a draw with the Italians on their home field and beat Malta 2:0 away.

The statistics of head-to-head meetings between Ukraine and North Macedonia tell us that the Balkans are a convenient opponent for the Ukrainians. The future hosts will not be satisfied with a draw in the upcoming game. There is an equality of points with Italy, but Italy has a game in reserve. However, Ukraine has not yet hosted Italy, so in case of victory over North Macedonia, chances for second place in the group will be preserved, and in case of loss of points will practically disappear. Recall the fact that in the first round, Ukraine beat the Macedonians. We believe that the Ukrainian national team will be able to win a confident victory over a comfortable opponent.
