North Macedonia vs. Moldova: Prediction & Tips | Mar 22, 2024

On the 22nd of March, 2024, football enthusiasts will be treated to an intriguing international friendly as North Macedonia faces off against Moldova. The clash is set to take place at the Mardan Sports Complex in Antalya, Turkey, providing a neutral ground for both teams to showcase their skills. Scheduled for a 2.30pm kick-off UK time, this match brings together two nations that have shown remarkable progress in football after years of underperformance.

Match Preview

The Rise of North Macedonia and Moldova Both North Macedonia and Moldova have embarked on journeys of improvement and resurgence in international football. North Macedonia, having participated in their first major tournament at Euro 2020, finds themselves in a rebuilding phase after missing out on Euro 2024. Despite being placed in a challenging group with heavyweights like England and Italy, they managed commendable draws against these top teams. Looking ahead, the UEFA Nations League presents a golden opportunity for North Macedonia to assert their dominance and aim for promotion.

Moldova, on the other hand, has shown signs of significant progress. Despite a disappointing World Cup 2022 qualifying campaign, their recent performances, including taking points off Poland and drawing with Albania and Czech Republic, highlight their potential. This match against North Macedonia serves as a vital test for Moldova as they continue their quest for improvement.

Team News and Lineups

North Macedonia’s Transition With Arijan Ademi’s retirement and Stefan Ristovski stepping down, North Macedonia’s squad sees the inclusion of in-form Darko Velkovski. The team aims to utilize this friendly to solidify their lineup and strategy, with players like Dimitrievski, Alioski, and Elmas expected to play crucial roles.

Moldova’s Emerging Talent Moldova’s squad sees changes with the absence of veteran defenders Ion Jardan and Vadim Bolohan, making way for new talents like Victor Mudrac. Ion Nicolaescu, the star striker, remains the focal point of Moldova’s attack, having proved his worth in the qualifiers.

Prediction and Betting Tips

Given the recent form and head-to-head history, this match promises to be closely contested. However, North Macedonia’s experience in major tournaments and their performances against top European teams give them a slight edge.
