Prediction North Macedonia vs Liechtenstein 2026 – Betting Tips for the WC Qualification Europe on 07/09/2025

Match context: group picture, recent form and what’s at stake

This World Cup qualifying fixture at the Toše Proeski Arena in Skopje on 07/09/2025 pits a confident North Macedonia side against a beleaguered Liechtenstein. The hosts arrive sitting second in the group with eight points from four matches — unbeaten in qualification so far with two wins and two draws — and they will be determined to consolidate their position in front of a capacity crowd of over 33,000. North Macedonia’s recent run reads like a nation finding consistency: a narrow friendly loss to Saudi Arabia on 04/09/2025 was sandwiched between solid qualifying performances, including a 1-0 away victory in Kazakhstan and a draw with Belgium earlier in June. Aleksandar Trajkovski was highlighted as the best performer in that recent friendly, underlining that North Macedonia still carry attacking quality and match-winner potential.

Liechtenstein, by contrast, make the short trip bearing heavy scars. They are bottom of the group with zero points and four defeats, having failed to score in the qualifiers and shipped 14 goals. That defensive fragility was painfully exposed again in the 0-6 loss to Belgium on 04/09/2025, a result that underlines the gulf in class between these teams. Their head-to-head earlier this campaign already favored North Macedonia emphatically, with a 3-0 victory in March. Statistically the contrasts are stark: North Macedonia create more than double the attacking actions on average and have the clean-sheet resilience to press an advantage, while Liechtenstein’s attacking numbers and corner averages suggest they offer little threat in the final third.

Prediction: rhythm, likely scoreline and the betting suggestion

Expect North Macedonia to control the tempo from the outset, using wide areas and set-piece opportunities to keep Liechtenstein pinned back. The home side’s steady goals return in qualifying combined with Liechtenstein’s inability to find the net make a decisive home victory the most realistic outcome. A repeat of the earlier 3-0 scoreline is plausible, though a 2-0 or 3-0 win for North Macedonia would also reflect the balance on paper and recent form.

Betting suggestion: for the 1X2 market back North Macedonia to win. This selection aligns directly with group form, the March head-to-head 3-0 result, North Macedonia’s unbeaten qualifying run and Liechtenstein’s run of heavy defeats and goalless outings.
