Prediction: North Macedonia VS Kazakhstan 2025-06-09
The battle for European World Cup qualifying supremacy is heating up, and we've got a real barnburner of a matchup on our hands: Kazakhstan vs North Macedonia. Because, you know, these two teams are always at the forefront of everyone's mind when it comes to international soccer powerhouses.
But seriously, North Macedonia has been on a tear, with a strong start to their qualifying campaign, including a win against Liechtenstein and draws against Wales and Belgium. They're currently sitting pretty in 2nd place in the group, and it's hard to see Kazakhstan giving them too much trouble.
The Kazakhs, on the other hand, have been... well, let's just say they've been "consistent" in their struggles. With only 3 points in the group and a 1-0 record with 0 goals in the League of Nations (yes, you read that right), it's clear they've got their work cut out for them.
Given the history between these two teams - North Macedonia won their only previous meeting 4-0 in a friendly back in 2021 - it's hard to see Kazakhstan pulling off the upset. And with North Macedonia's attacking firepower, led by the likes of Elmas, Bardhi, and Miovski, it's likely we'll see some goals in this one.
So, my best bet for this matchup? Over 2 goals, all the way. The odds are looking good at 1.82 (according to BetOnline.ag), and I'm confident that North Macedonia's offense will be too much for Kazakhstan to handle. Take the over, and let's hope for a thrilling match!
Best bet: Over 2 goals (1.82)
