Northern Macedonia play host to Malta at their National Arena Toshe Proeski in the opening match of their EURO 2024 qualifying campaign.
The Macedonians were beaten by Azerbaijan (1-3) in their last friendly, and you should know that they are on a five-game winless run in all competitions ahead of the visit of Malta.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Napoli midfielder Eljif Elmas, who has netted six goals in the Serie A this season, while Burnley midfielder Darko Churlinov has overcome his injury.
Fenerbahce left-back Ezgjan Alioski made the cut as well. Meanwhile, Malta are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in Thursday’s qualifier, but preventing North Macedonia attackers from scoring in Skopje is easier said than done.
In their last meeting in the former Yugoslav republic North Macedonia crushed Malta 5-0.
This match will be played on 23/03/2023 at 20:45
