Ukraine vs North Macedonia Prediction & Betting Tips (14 October)

Don't forget that in the group stage of European qualification, the top two teams directly guarantee a passport to Germany next summer. With England and Italy also in this group it is complicated for these two teams, but not impossible. The English have dominated the group so far, recording 4 wins and 1 draw, good for first place with 13 points won. In second place we have a trio of teams with 7 points, Italy and precisely Ukraine and North Macedonia.

Malta, still without any points, is the red bottom of the group and this is a settled point until the end of the race. Any point that the Malta team manages to win in this highly difficult group will be a great victory.

Ukraine will have to do without its captain and top scorer, Yarmolenko (Dynamo kyiv, 116 caps, 46 goals) who is injured at the moment. This is also the case of goalkeeper Lunin (Real Madrid), the important Tsyhankov (Girona, 49 selections, 11 goals) and the Strasbourg defender Sobol who are also on the floor. Otherwise, Zbirna relies on a quality group where we find goalkeeper Trubin (Benfica), defenders Matviyenko (Shakhtar), Karavayev (Dynamo Kiev), Mykolenko (Everton) and Zabarnyi (Bournemouth), midfielders Stepanenko (Shkahtar), Sydorchuk (Westerloo), Zinchenko (Arsenal, 55 sels, 9 goals) and Malinovskyi (Genoa, 55 sels, 7 goals). Offensively, the nugget Mydruk (Chelsea), the experienced Yaremchuk (Valencia, 45 sels, 13 goals) and the interesting Dovbyk (Girona, 20 sels, 6 goals) could pose problems for the Macedonian defense.

North Macedonia also has a few absentees such as striker Nestorovski (Ascoli, 52 sels, 10 goals), captain Ristovski (Dinamo Zagreb, 82 sels) and defender Velkovski (48 sels). Otherwise, the other important members of this team are present such as the goalkeeper Dimitrievski (Rayo Vallecano), the defenders Alioski (Al-Ahli, 69 sel, 12 goals) and Musliu (Paderborn), the midfielders Bardhi (Trabzonspor, 58 sel , 15 goals), Elmas (Naples, 52 sels, 12 goals), Ademi (Dinamo Zagreb), Churlinov (19 sels, 4 goals) and the fairly prolific striker Trajkovski (Hajduk Split, 84 sels, 20 goals).
