The International friendly match between North Macedonia vs Armenia will take place at the Blagoj Istatov Stadium on Tuesday at 6:30 pm IST.
North Macedonia will take on Armenia at the Blagoj Istatov Stadium for an international friendly on Tuesday at 6:30 pm (IST). The hosts in Strumica lost against Ukraine last time out. Likewise, Armenia’s hopes of reaching Germany next year took a massive hit in Latvia in their most recent match.
North Macedonia suffered their third defeat of the Euro qualifying campaign on Saturday night with a 2-0 loss in Czechia against an in-form Ukraine outfit. Blagoja Milevski’s men went behind after 30 minutes because of a first-half strike from Georgiy Sudakov. Subsequently, the Macedonians pushed for an equaliser. However, the visitors conceded again late on to confirm defeat. The Lynxes are currently fourth in Group C of qualifying having collected seven points from their opening six matches. However, a strong section containing England, Italy and the aforementioned Ukraine means a spot at next summer’s showpiece tournament seems unlikely. Eljif Elmas has been the stand-out performer for North Macedonia so far this year. The Napoli midfielder has managed to bag three goals in the Euro qualifying games this year.
Meanwhile, Armenia possesses an identical points tally and record to North Macedonia. The Armenians have amassed seven points from six matches in a group which has Turkey, Wales, Croatia and Latvia. The Havakakan’s chances of booking their spot in Euro 2024 took a massive blow on Thursday night. Armenia suffered a shock defeat to bottom side Latvia, who secured their first maximum of the qualification campaign. Two goals on either side of the half-time break from Janis Ikaunieks and Daniels Balodis downed Oleksandr Petrakov’s side in Riga. The Armenians should really be kicking themselves given the fact that Latvia played the final third of the contest with 10 men. Armenia is winless in their last four friendly matches in a run stretching back to March 2022.
North Macedonia’s probable starting lineup: Dimitrievski, Manev, Serafimov, Musliu, Ashkovski, Elezi, Atanasov, Alioski, Bardhi, Elmas, Miovski
Armenia’s probable starting lineup: Cancarevic, Arutiunian, Voskanyan, Mkrtchyan, Tiknizyan, Spertsyan, Iwu, Dashyan, Barseghyan, Zelarayan, Briasco
