Prediction for the match between England and North Macedonia, which will take place on June 19. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

England

The English faced their most formidable opponent in the first leg of the qualifying tournament. Still, they beat them with a score of 2:1 on the road against reigning European champions Italy. This was followed by two back-to-back victories - in March at home to Ukraine (2:0), and in the first leg of the summer, over Malta (4:0). Even now, at the start of the selection process, there is no doubt that the England national team will qualify for UEFA EURO 2024.

The reason for the English confidence lies in the qualifiers' line-up and the past few years' experiences. Under Southgate, England has become a formidable group-stage machine, with the one obstacle to a truly remarkable success - the head coach's lack of tactical flexibility in the crucial play-off matches. It is possible that, by replacing Southgate, the team could finally win the trophy.

North Macedonia

The Macedonian national team received public attention in 2021 when they took part in the European Championship for the first time in their history. The modest side failed to qualify from the group stage, losing to their opponents, Ukraine, the Netherlands, and Austria. However, in the next round, North Makedonians made a comeback, knocking out Italy in the qualifying rounds for the World Cup in Qatar.

The Red Lions failed to qualify for Qatar, losing to Portugal in the decisive match, and there are doubts that they will qualify for the next European Championship. At least they lost a crucial game. North Macedonia led 2:0 at home to Ukraine after the first half but managed to concede three goals in the second half to lose 2:3. Given the presence of teams from Italy and England in the qualifying subgroup; the Macedonians certainly needed to pick up maximum points in their games against the Ukrainians to be able to compete with the giants.

Expert Betting Tips

Northern Macedonia is a formidable side that could pull off a surprise. The Red Lions are unlikely to have any chance of success in Foggy Albion. England has been perhaps the best team in recent years in terms of their performance in the qualifying rounds, and the team will undoubtedly confirm that status in the upcoming game. We'd like to bet on a convincing win for England.
