On June 16, National Arena Toshe Proeski (Skopje) will host the match of the 3rd round of the Euro 2024 Qualification, in which North Macedonia will compete with Ukraine. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

North Macedonia

The team has become a one more “splinter” of the former top team, Yugoslavia, which was already able to independently break through to the “great” tournament. Its maximum was to be a middle peasant of the qualifications for a long time; moreover, taking into account the history, it had never finished higher than the 4th final place. Still, “the Lions” are always able to get together for a specific match and do their best. They made their way to the previous Euro through an additional play-off, according to the Nations League quota, and created a sensation in the previous year by knocking out Italy on its field in their first play-off for the right to go to the World Cup. On the other hand, Pandev and the company lost all the battles at the Euro, and did not go to the World Cup, losing to Portugal in the decisive round. Still, March brought a 2-1 victory in the struggle with Malta in the qualification and a 1-0 success in the friendly match against the Faroe Islands team.

Ukraine

The team has recently shown itself in a rather controversial way. The unconditionally successful Euro, where it achieved the quarter-finals, was followed by a strange event – the contract with Andriy Shevchenko was not prolonged for obscure reasons. Petrakov did not fail, but he did not complete the tasks either: overcoming Scotland, the team lost offensively to Wales in the play-offs for the World Cup. Speaking about the Nations League, it lost the 1st place to “the Tartan Terriers”. That, by the way, had a fatal effect on the draw of the new qualification: “the Blue and Yellows” received Italy and England as rivals in the group. And they quite expectedly lost to England with a 0-2 score in March. Then there was no actual head coach – Rotan worked as an interim one. Rebrov took his position only at the beginning of the summer. He made his debut in a test match against Germany. It was quite contradictory: that battle ended in an away 3-3 draw, but, at the same time, the team lost the advantage of 2 goals.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The friendly matches, which took place at the beginning of the century, brought pretty good results to the Macedonians – there happened a draw and even a victory. Still, taking into account the official ones, Ukrainians won in the qualification in 2014-2015 and already at the Euro 2020.

Predictions

Bookmakers sympathize with the guests. Let’s agree and believe that Ukraine will finally win (odd: 2.10).
