Kazakhstan vs FYR Macedonia Prediction (09.06.2025)

Kazakhstan is unlikely to come close to the standards of the previous qualifications in which they participated. The Central Asian team is now facing North Macedonia.

North Macedonians with an impressive draw a few days ago

Then our neighbors managed to hold Belgium to a 1:1 draw at home. However, in order to have any chance of qualifying in the top 2, they will need to win this match. Kazakhstan was defeated by Belarus a few days ago with a score of 1:4, which is not a good testament. It seems to me that the Macedonians will have enough strength to at least get a point on the artificial turf in Astana. Of course, I do not necessarily expect an easy match, but the Balkan team has more footballing qualities and knows how crucial this match is.

North Macedonia is in excellent form and continues to build confidence after an impressive draw against the group favorite Belgium. The team has not lost in an official match since November 2023, highlighting their resilience in recent months. During this period, the Macedonians have recorded six wins and two draws in eight matches - a stable series that has lifted them to second place in the group.

The hosts are in a much more difficult situation - they have lost 12 of their last 15 matches, including three of their last four at home. Their problems in attack are also evident: they have failed to score in four of their last five home games, losing 0-2 in two of them. This clearly indicates both a lack of efficiency in attack and vulnerability in defense.

Considering the current form of the Macedonians and the difficulties of Kazakhstan, I expect the guests to continue their strong series. Their stable performance in away games, including three consecutive wins without conceding a goal, is another argument in their favor.
