Israel hosts North Macedonia in round 5 of Euro qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, September 5th at Toto Turner Stadium (Be'er Sheva)
Israel takes the 2nd place in its group, letting forward only the Poles who are favorites. The Slovenes and the Austrians are behind it. By the way, Austrian coach Herzog trains the Israelis. He managed to draw the necessary field understanding out of his players and created proper integrity between the lines. There are fewer breaks between the lines, which the Blue and Whites used to sin often. In the last match against the Poles, this minus also manifested itself. But it was against the Poles and away. But at home, Israel does not lose for the last 5 matches in a row. And in 4 of them were won. Nevertheless, the Slovenes and Austrians paid the visits - the teams are at least no weaker than Macedonia.

Macedonia, which became North, did not become stronger from this adding to its name. It cannot win for three matches in a row. Last two of them were lost at home. It was no wonder that Macedonia lost to the Poles. But it could have competed with the Austrians. But are there anyone to compete? Now all the leaders of the team (Elmas, Bardhi, Nestorovsky, Pandev) are far from their best conditions, and they will not gain the best shape soon. And Ristowski generally just recovered from his injury.
The match will certainly not please the audience with a large number of goals. Macedonia is generally not famous for its high performance. It still can score Latvia, Gibraltar and Lichtenstein a couple of goals. But 1 goal per game is often the ceiling for the Macedonians. As for the upcoming match, the visitors’ strategy will probably be built on counterattacks. Israel also does not buck for Spain or Belgium. It plays on the result. And we will see such a game in this super-important match for the Israelis. The Blue and Whites have every chance to break into the final stage of the Euro. For this purpose, points should not be lost at least at home. The rival is not the force that the Israelis cannot break if they wish. And they have a desire. The hosts will seek out weaknesses in the defense of the visitors. And most likely, they will find them. Israel is likely to score, and then it will be controlling the ball and killing the clock before the whistle. Everything as a whole will lead the game to a non-scoring outcome and a likely victory of Israel. But all the same, we need to insure the hosts with X. Opponents met 5 times in their history. 4 victories of Israel. And the fans saw more than three goals in those matches only 1 time back in 2002.
Prediction for the match: Israel to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 3.5 goals scored
