Free Match Tips from Punditfeed for North Macedonia vs Faroe Islands

North Macedonia will be preparing to host the Faroe Islands for a friendly fixture on Monday, 27th March.

North Macedonia to Win

We back the much higher-ranked team of North Macedonia to win this home friendly. Fresh off their Euro qualifier win against Malta last Thursday the Macedonians are high on confidence.

Undoubtedly, North Macedonia have much better players in their ranks, including some from top teams in Europe. At the same time, the Islanders don’t have any stars and the majority of their squad members play in the semi-amateur domestic league. That is why our first North Macedonia vs Faroe Islands prediction is for a home win.

Over 0.5 First Half Goals

Our next North Macedonia vs Faroe Island prediction is that there will be at least 1 goal scored in the first half. This being a friendly the expectations are that the managers will select their best players from the off but come halftime they will start making loads of changes. With that in mind we think when the top players for both teams are on the pitch it is much more likely to see goals. Also, 4 of Macedonia’s last 5 games had a goal in the first half and all of Faroe Islands last 3 away friendlies had a goal scored before the interval.

Macedonia to Score First

Following our first North Macedonia vs Faroe Island prediction we back the Macedonians to score first too. They play at home and against a team that have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 5 away matches. North Macedonia scored the first goal in 4 of their last 6 home matches too.

North Macedonia vs Faroe Islands Lineups and Fixture Preview

North Macedonia

North Macedonia made a positive start to their Euro qualifiers last Thursday with a deserved 2-1 home win vs Malta. Napoli’s Elmas and Burnley’s Churlinov scored the goals that gave the hosts a 2-0 lead and they cruised after that.

Macedonia like to play fast-paced football when at home and the motivation of the squad is usually high on home turf as they always get passionate support from the stands.

Midfielder Nikolov is the only notable absentee due to injury. The Macedonians have lots of quality in that position though so this is not a major issue.

Faroe Islands

The Islanders recorded a decent 1-1 away draw against Moldova last Thursday at the start of their Euro qualifiers. Earning an away point in an official match is rare for the Faroe Islands so they will be satisfied with this result. In fact, they were minutes away from their first away win in 12 months but gave away a late penalty.

Missing 3 important players due to injuries. Centre-back Nattestad (45 caps), playmaker Hansson (73 caps) and the second-best goalscorer Edmundson (77 caps-8 goals) are all absent from the current squad. This weakens every area of the pitch.
