Turkey vs FYR Macedonia Prediction (01.06.2026)

Turkey enters as a serious favorite in this match, even though it is a friendly that starts their preparation for the World Cup. In their last eight matches, they have six wins, with the two exceptions being against Spain. It is a fact that the Turks have a quite solid squad and team, led by Vincenzo Montella, and their participation in the World Cup is fully deserved.

North Macedonia will miss the World Cup. They have no wins in their last seven matches, in which they scored only two goals. A total of five of them ended in a draw. This also happened on Friday when they played to a goalless draw in another friendly – away against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Turkey is certainly the better team, capable of winning by more than two goals against their opponent. However, this is still a friendly match, and I'm not sure if, after the recently concluded season in the major leagues, the Turkish players will be in optimal condition. So I think the guests might avoid a heavy loss here.
