In a group that will presumably be dominated by Italy and England, with the possible loose cannon from Ukraine, the one between North Macedonia and Malta looks like a background match. Indeed it is, but especially for the landlords, who are largely favourites, winning the first could lay the foundations for a good journey and in any case there is nothing to lose. An opportunity for Malta to redeem itself after a very disappointing Nations League.

The Balkans will be led by Elmas, almost always present even if often as a substitute for the stellar Napoli this year, but up front they don't have much weight if you exclude the prolific Mioski who scored 15 times for Aberdeen this year. Malta, coached by the former Chievo Marcolini, has its star in Teddy Teuma: the midfielder is the beacon of the surprising - even in Europe - Union St Gilloise, but in attack he has very little weight with only Jones playing abroad, for accuracy to Notts County in the English fifth division.

Macedonia has a few players in its ranks who are used to playing at a high level. We think in particular of goalkeeper Dimitrievski (Rayo Vallecano), defenders Ristovski (Dinamo Zagreb) and Alioski (Fenerbahce), midfielders Bardhi (Trabzonspor), Elmas (Naples), Churlinov (Burnley), or striker Nesterovski (Udinese, 10 goals in 48 selections). From his 81 selections, striker Trajkovski (Al-Fayha, ex Mallorca) is the best artificer of this team with 21 goals to his credit.

Note, however, the absence of executive midfielders Spirovksi (55 caps) and Nikolov (48 caps, 4 goals).

Tip Reasoning

Over the course of their last 13 matches at the top table of the Euro 2024, Malta have not been involved in too many thrillers, with two goals or fewer being served up ten times. It has been a similar story in North Macedonia home games at this level of late, as under 2.5 goals has been the order of the day 13 times out of a possible 18, so this pattern is expected to continue.
