A spot in League B is within reach for North Macedonia as we approach Match Day 5 of the UEFA Nations League. They will host Latvia on Thursday, and a victory will secure them the top position in Group C4. Read on for our match prediction.
After four matches, Macedonia remains unbeaten with 10 points. Their recent 2-0 win over Armenia has created a six-point cushion in the group. A win on Thursday would give them an insurmountable lead.
Defensively, Macedonia has also been solid, coming into this match with three consecutive clean sheets.
Latvia faces a challenging encounter. Their only victory in this group so far came against the bottom-placed team, the Faroe Islands. In their first meeting at home in this group, Latvia suffered a 3-0 defeat.
In their latest outing, Latvia bounced back from that loss to draw 1-1 with the Faroe Islands. However, visiting Macedonia will be a tougher task, especially considering Latvia’s recent away form.
The visitors have managed just three wins in their last 22 matches. On the road, they are winless in their last 10 games and have failed to score in four of those matches.
