Aron Wright - September 25, 2022

North Macedonia vs Bulgaria 
UEFA Nations League 
Date: Monday, 26 September 2022 
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET 
Venue: National Arena Toshe Proeski. 

Macedonia are desperately going after the top-most spot, as they are dead-determined to secure promotion to League C. They are at home this Monday, and will definitely go for a win against the Bulgarians, who are yet to find form in the competition. 

Bulgaria are placed second to last in the table, and they remained winless so far in the competition. And except for the dead-last placed Gibraltar, they let in the most number of goals in the group, as well as conceded the least. 

It is also quite concerning that so far they were able to find the back of the net just once in the tournament. Moreover, they are under extreme pressure, because of the looming relegation, and this will only lead to them making even more mistakes. 

Meanwhile, Macedonia scored the most number of goals as well as conceded the least in the group – except for toppers Georgia, and they also remained unbeaten so far, barring their defeat against the Georgians. 

Note that they also scored the most number of goals at home. 

By the looks of things, expect a victory for North Macedonia this Monday at their home.
