FYR Macedonia is seems to be the weakest side at the Balkans at the moment if do not take into account Kosovo which is not recognized by the majority of the countries in the world. The Macedonians’ results within the current qualification cycle only prove the A-team poor state and decline of the football level in the country as a whole. FYR Macedonia managed to pick up only three points with eight goals for and 13 goals against in six rounds, having lost all chances not only for promotion to the World Cup final stage, but even for drifting up from the current fifth position in the Group G standings. The Macedonians showed disastrous performance even in face of their fans, having been broken by Israel 1:2, Italy 2:3 and Spain 1:2. Even though the hosts have been fighting in each of those clashes, they lost which means zero points taken.

The Albanians demonstrate better statistics in qualification, however, having Spain and Italy in the same group, they may battle only for the third place. On the eve of the autumn qualification stage, the side shares the third-fourth positions in the table with Israel, having gained nine points with 7-8 goal difference. The Albanians took six out of nine possible points at away fields after two victories over Liechtenstein 2:0 and Israel 3:0 alongside with 0:2 loss to Italy.
Albania defeated FYR Macedonia 2:1 in the reverse fixture at the home turf in the current campaign. In the forthcoming battle the hosts have also slightly higher chances for success, still, it is better to play it safe and take the total in the game as in each home clash of the Macedonians ended with over scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
