Preview of Israel vs Northern Macedonia Match
Israel saw a 4-0 defeat in Poland in June and watched their three-game unbeaten streak end to an unforgiving side where Krzysztof Piatek, Robert Lewandowski, Kamil Grosicki and Damian Kadzior all managed to become goal scorers. They now host Northern Macedonia who want to rise and maintain the top 2 position in Group G.
The Blue and Whites held Slovenia to a 1-1 draw and defeated Austria (4-2) and Latvia (0-3) in an exciting match bk-efore, which still promised a good mood that day. They have been very difficult to beat at home lately and have had four wins and one draw in five home matches in all competitions since October.
Northern Macedonia has witnessed a disappointing June on its own and now has to look upset in an attempt to end two successive defeats, where they narrowly lose points to Poland (0-1) and then see Austria finish a comeback to win a more convincing 1-4 victory. at Tose Proeski Arena in Skopje.
Red Lynxes still sits just three points behind the top 2 in the thriller chase for 2nd place and they will certainly be very motivated to keep their hopes alive, which indeed promises difficult challenges here too. They have a chance and a head-to-head record against them, though, despite winning 0-1 on their last trip to Israel two years ago.
