On September 7, 2025, North Macedonia will play Liechtenstein in the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The match will start at 18:00 Central European Time. Here’s a look at the predicted outcome of the game.
North Macedonia
North Macedonia has had a strong qualifying campaign so far, remaining unbeaten after four matches. The team recorded two away victories—3-0 over Liechtenstein and 1-0 against Kazakhstan—along with two draws at home against Belgium and Wales, each ending 1-1. These results place North Macedonia second in their group with 8 points, and they have a game in hand over Wales, giving them a chance to move ahead if they secure another win.
In their last match, North Macedonia faced Saudi Arabia in a friendly, which resulted in a 1-2 loss. This marked the end of a 10-match unbeaten streak; however, they remain without defeat in official matches.
At home, North Macedonia has been impressive, going unbeaten in their last nine matches. Against Liechtenstein specifically, they have a perfect home record, winning all five previous encounters.
Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein has struggled in this qualifying campaign, suffering defeats in all four of their matches and failing to score any goals while conceding 14. Their most recent loss was a heavy 0-6 defeat to Belgium.
They are currently on a seven-match losing streak that includes both Nations League and friendly games. In six of those matches, they didn’t manage to score, and in their last nine games, they only found the net once against San Marino.
The head-to-head record against North Macedonia is also unfavorable for Liechtenstein. They have lost 11 out of 12 matches, with only one draw, and have not scored against North Macedonia in their last four meetings.
Probable lineups
- North Macedonia: Dimitrievski, Alioski, Musliu, Serafimov, Velkoski, Despotovski, Atanasov, Alimi, Stankovski, Trajkovski, Ristovski.

North Macedonia vs Liechtenstein prediction
North Macedonia is favored to win this match. They have shown confidence in their qualifying campaign, remaining unbeaten and aiming for the top of the group. Their strong home performance and past dominance against Liechtenstein suggest that they will likely continue this trend. On the other hand, Liechtenstein is facing significant challenges both offensively and defensively. Considering these factors, North Macedonia is expected to secure the win, and a bet on them with a -2.5 goal handicap at odds of 1.61 seems sensible.
