The Stakes Are High
North Macedonia will be looking to build on their impressive form. They previously defeated Kazakhstan and a victory here could propel them further up the group standings. On the other hand, Kazakhstan, playing in front of their home support, are desperate to bounce back and secure valuable points.

Their manager, Ali Aliev, faces a tough challenge to organize his team and solidify their backline. North Macedonia, however, will likely draw confidence from their recent strong performances, including a draw against a strong Belgium side.
