North Macedonia have been highly inconsistent in their recent matches. In their last six matches, they have managed just two wins to go with a draw and three defeats. After a promising World Cup qualifying campaign, North Macedonia would have expected to gain promotion to the second tier. However, for a second successive Nations League campaign in a row, the nation has failed to do so. Now its just a question of securing the second spot and finishing the campaign on a high.
Bulgaria won’t be particularly pleased with their form in recent games. They have earned just one win to go with three draws and two losses in their last six games. Victory at the weekend against Gibraltar has been their only win in this Nations League campaign. Bulgaria will now hope to end the group on a positive note by finishing second.
North Macedonia will miss the services of Stefan Ristovski, Arijan Ademi, Darko Churlinov and Valon Ethemi. Bulgaria, on the other hand, reportedly have no injury issues and will likely name their strongest XI.
North Macedonia possible line-up: Dimitrievski, Todoroski, Velkovski, Musliu, Alioski, Askovski, Bardhi, Spirovski, Elmas, Ristovski, Trajkovski
Bulgaria possible line-up: Naumov, Hristov, Antov, Nedyalkov, Turitsov, Gruev, Kratsev, Petkov, Despodov, Stefanov, Kirilov
