England take on the visitors North Macedonia in the round 4 match of UEFA Euro qualification. The match will be played on Monday, June 19th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
England comfortably and effortlessly defeated Malta (4-0) in their previous match of the Euro qualifying cycle. They confidently lead their qualification group. In the first round, the English team defeated Italy (2-1) away, conceding only once against the reigning European champions. In their only home match of the qualifying campaign so far, the British easily defeated Ukraine (2-0). There is no doubt that the English team will come out victorious in their match against North Macedonia, especially when playing at their own stadium. And it is likely that they will do so with a clean sheet.

Yes, North Macedonia has scored in their two previous matches in the Euro 2024 qualification. However, firstly, both of those matches were played at home. And secondly, the team has not played against England or Italy yet. While they managed to defeat modest Malta (2-1), they suffered a defeat against Ukraine, even on their own turf (2-3). They were leading 2-0 and played with a numerical disadvantage. A considerable amount of effort was expended in that match. It is unlikely that they will quickly recover from such a defeat. And now they face an away match against the pioneers of football, who have been in great form recently. Regarding the goal from North Macedonia in the upcoming match, I will quote Stanislavsky's famous phrase: "I don't believe it!"
The hosts are clear favorites, and the guests are clear underdogs. There is hardly any doubt about the outcome of this match. How many goals the English team will score against the demoralized Macedonians after their home defeat to Ukraine will be revealed in due time. Speculating on the total or handicap is not desirable. But I simply cannot believe that the guests will manage to produce even a single accurate shot. The English team has conceded only once in three rounds of the qualifying campaign – against Italy on their own field. Let's agree that North Macedonia, with all due respect, is not at the level to penetrate the defense of top opponents like today's pioneers of football. My prediction is a home win with a clean sheet based on class!
Prediction for the match: England to win with a clean sheet.
