Liechtenstein vs North Macedonia prediction, H2H and probable lineups - 22.03.2025
One of the matches in the first round of the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament will be played at the Rheinpark Stadium in Vaduz, where Liechtenstein will host North Macedonia. I suggest a bet on goals in this match with a good odds.
Match preview
Liechtenstein once again failed to compete in the World Cup qualifying cycle, predictably ending up as mere spectators. The team lost 9 out of 10 matches, which only confirmed their status as one of the main outsiders of European football. They managed to scrape a single point in a match against Armenia (1:1).
Meanwhile, the attacking impotence of the team remains unchanged – only two goals scored throughout the qualification, better only than San Marino's record. Liechtenstein's home statistics in World Cup qualifiers is a true losing streak. The team lost their last 11 home matches, failing to put up a fight even against mid-level opponents.
North Macedonia had an impressive qualifying cycle, coming close to a historic World Cup appearance. In the group stage, the team finished second, one point ahead of Romania, and in the playoffs, they caused an upset by eliminating Italy (1:0). However, in the decisive stage, the Macedonians couldn't handle Portugal, losing 0:2. It is important to note that in the last 11 World Cup qualifiers, the team lost only twice – to top-tier opponents Germany and Portugal (6 wins, 3 draws).
The team's away performance deserves special attention. In 8 out of the last 10 qualifying matches, North Macedonia left with points (6 wins, 2 draws), showcasing their ability to achieve results even in challenging conditions.

- Liechtenstein: Benjamin Büchel – Andreas Malin, Maximilian Göppel, Sandro Wolfinger – Nicolas Hasler, Simon Lüchinger, Jens Hofer, Aron Sele, Kenny Kindle – Fabio Notaro, Ferhat Saglam

Prediction
Bookmakers don't believe in Liechtenstein and offer odds of 1.10 for the guests' victory. We think it's worth taking "Total over 2.5" with odds of 1.60.
