North Macedonia have failed to score in five straight matches: prediction for Slovenia — North Macedonia
The UEFA Nations League second-round match between Slovenia and North Macedonia will take place on September 29 at Stozice Stadium in Ljubljana. Slovenia opened the tournament with a goalless draw against Scotland, while North Macedonia suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat to Switzerland.
Slovenia: solid at the back, but still lacking cutting edge up front
Bojštjan Cesar’s first competitive match in charge of the national team ended in a 0-0 draw with Scotland. Slovenia created almost nothing going forward, managing just one shot on target, but kept a clean sheet for the first time since October 2025.
At the same time, their overall form remains inconsistent, with just one win in five matches in 2026. The team now returns home, where they will be looking to play with more attacking intent and claim their first victory of the current campaign.
North Macedonia: eight matches without a win and five without a goal
North Macedonia made an extremely poor start to the new Nations League season, losing 0-3 to Switzerland. The defeat extended their winless run to eight matches.
The attack is particularly concerning: the national team have failed to score in five consecutive games. In addition, North Macedonia have conceded 16 goals in their last four defeats, with at least three in each of those matches.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- North Macedonia are winless in eight consecutive matches.
- The visitors have failed to score in their last five matches.
- North Macedonia have not lost to Slovenia in their last three meetings.
The hosts can capitalize on the visitors’ attacking crisis: prediction for Slovenia — North Macedonia
Slovenia have yet to impress in attack, but they look significantly more reliable and organized. A home match against an opponent who have failed to score in five straight games presents a good opportunity to pick up three points.
North Macedonia are mired in a prolonged slump and are too often vulnerable both going forward and defensively. If Slovenia maintain the same discipline they showed against Scotland, the hosts could win without conceding.
