North Macedonia vs Gibraltar Prediction
North Macedonia have won just one of their last four games across all competitions. They have struggled for results on home soil of late, going winless and goalless in four of their last five games.
Gibraltar are in even worse form than their hosts, as they are winless in their last 20 games across all competitions, a run dating back to November 2020. We expect the hosts to win this encounter.
Prediction: North Macedonia 2-0 Gibraltar
