Latvia, on the other hand, is renowned for its organized defense and ability to remain compact against stronger opponents. For Latvia, this is a chance to give young talents valuable minutes and test tactical schemes in the face of tough opposition. The game promises to be intense, but the main goal here isn’t the result—it's about making progress in preparation and team cohesion.

Match prediction:
Blagoja Milevski’s team boasts a more balanced squad, experience at major tournaments, and several players competing regularly in top European leagues. At home, the Macedonians traditionally play with confidence, pressing high and making full use of their wing players’ speed—potentially the deciding factor in this fixture.
Latvia, despite their solid defensive structure, often struggles to transition into attack and create chances in the final third. Playing away, they will likely focus on defense, but against a more technically skilled and cohesive Macedonian side, this may not be enough.
Prediction: North Macedonia to win.
