In a FIFA World Cup Qualifying - UEFA match held on June 6, 2025, North Macedonia and Belgium played to a 1-1 draw at the Tose Proeski Arena in Skopje. Belgium, playing a 4-3-3 formation, dominated possession with 67.9%, while North Macedonia, in a 5-3-2, focused on a more defensive approach. Maxim De Cuyper put Belgium ahead in the 28th minute, but Ezgjan Alioski equalized for North Macedonia late in the 86th minute.
Despite Belgium's superior possession and 17 total shots compared to North Macedonia's 7, they only managed 4 shots on target, while North Macedonia had 2. The home side committed 13 fouls and received 6 yellow cards, indicating a physical approach, while Belgium committed 11 fouls and received only 1 yellow card. The game was expected to be balanced by AI, but the pre-game AI prediction favored a North Macedonia win, which ultimately proved incorrect as the match ended in a draw.
North Macedonia's draw continues their mixed form, having drawn their previous qualifying match against Wales and winning before that against Liechtenstein. Their upcoming match against Kazakhstan will be crucial, especially considering their strong historical performance against them, including a 4-0 victory in their last head-to-head. Kazakhstan, however, will aim to leverage their home advantage.
Belgium's recent form has been inconsistent, with a mix of wins and losses in their previous UEFA Nations League matches. Their next game against Wales will be important for them to regain confidence, especially considering Wales' own inconsistent form. Their recent head-to-head record is relatively even. Considering the previous games, Belgium will look to improve their finishing after converting only 4 shots on target into 1 goal against North Macedonia.
Looking at the recent performances, North Macedonia seems to be defensively solid, while Belgium will need to address their recent struggles to convert chances. The draw reflects North Macedonia's resilience and Belgium's inability to capitalize on their dominance in possession. The high number of yellow cards for North Macedonia points to a potentially disciplinary issue they need to address in upcoming matches.
Football fans, mark your calendars! On June 6, 2025, North Macedonia will host Belgium at the Tose Proeski Arena in Skopje for a crucial FIFA World Cup Qualifying - UEFA match. Surprisingly, AI is predicting a North Macedonia victory, despite Belgium's higher team rate (0.685 compared to North Macedonia's 0.394). The AI gives North Macedonia a 36.8% chance of winning, narrowly edging out Belgium's 35.6%, with a 27.7% chance of a draw. North Macedonia has been in decent form lately, winning four of their last five games, including a confident 3-0 victory over Liechtenstein. On the other hand, Belgium has struggled, losing four of their last five matches.
While Belgium boasts talents known throughout European football, their recent form has been patchy. Kevin De Bruyne, if fit, will be crucial in unlocking the North Macedonia defense. However, North Macedonia will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage and recent winning momentum. Historically, Belgium has dominated this fixture, winning both previous encounters in 2013. Will AI's prediction come true, or will Belgium's experience prevail? This match promises to be an intriguing battle between form and reputation.
