North Macedonia vs Israel Prediction & Betting tips
With North Macedonia and Israel, two countries with no direct qualifying chances for the European Championship 2020 will meet for the final matchday in Group G. However, both still have hope. The reason is the playoffs for the upcoming continental finals.
For this, the North Macedonians and Israelis each have the ticket safely. The hosts have been able to win their group in the recent Nations League, and Israel is benefiting from the relegation clause, which is due to teams that have already qualified directly. From a sporting point of view, the team is moving at a similar level.
This verdict is also confirmed by the number of points in the group. Thus, the counterparties each have eleven counters. In addition, the first leg ended with a draw. North Macedonia vs. Israel Tip includes goals on both sides. Especially Eran Zahavi can be considered for a goal on the part of the guests.
The 32-year-old is after Harry Kane and together with Cristiano Ronaldo the most accurate player in the entire European Championship qualification. At least one goal from the home side again hints at the weak Israeli defensive.
This has almost two goals per game on – second worst after the still winless and completely beaten bottom of the table from Latvia. Northern Macedonia vs. Israel Tip for the match in the Tose-Proeski Arena in the capital Skopje provides for five units as stake.
North Macedonia:
Although Northern Macedonia have been members of UEFA since 1994, it has not been enough to qualify for a European Championship finals. This time, the kickers from the Balkans were very well in the race for the first two places for a long time. But on the last matchdays defeats against Poland and Austria were collected.
Due to the bankruptcy against the direct competitors in the fight for the tickets for the EM 2020, the dream of a direct qualification crashed. In the final match against Israel, it is thus in sports nothing more. Rather, the focus is on the playoffs.
North Macedonia has gained a place in the past Nations League by winning Group D4. However, the opposition with Armenia, Lichtenstein and Gibraltar was naturally very easy. The squad of the team of coach Igor Angelovski but has quite individual quality.
First of all, Enis Bardhi (Levante) and Elif Elmas (Naples). The actors each run in the attacking midfield of the North Macedonians. Bardhi has been unavailable due to injury at the final international match but is now on board again.
In the recent 1: 2 defeat in Austria, he put on the same goal just before the end of the game. With his two and four goals by Elmas, the strong duo unites the most accurate kickers in the ranks of the Red Lions in this qualification.
Israel:
Israel also had good hopes for one of the top two places during qualifying for a longer period of time.
After a successful start with a draw against Slovenia and subsequent wins against Austria and Latvia, it came on the fourth matchday the negative sticking point: The 0: 4 defeat in Poland, the team of Andreas Herzog was obviously difficult to put away.
Subsequently, only a threesome against Latvia was achieved. A victory that can hardly be counted as a success, as the Balten have finished all group games as losers. Another parallel to the upcoming adversary is the hope for the playoffs, in which Israel will also participate.
An important reason why it was not enough for (direct) participation in an EC for the seventh consecutive year is the team’s outward weakness. Except for the successful 3: 0 compulsory task in Latvia, all guest appearances were lost.
In view of this balance, at least in North Macedonia against Israel offer at least the odds of double chance on the home side.
