Wales vs North Macedonia Why This 9/4 Pick Will Secure Qualification…

Wales are almost certainly heading towards the World Cup play-offs, but victory over North Macedonia would boost their chances of landing a more favourable draw in March.

Top spot in Group J should be a formality for leaders Belgium, as their final game is against minnows Liechtenstein in Liege, but second place is very much up for grabs.

Both these sides are locked on 13 points, but goal difference means the Dragons must chase victory and 6/10 for them to achieve that is our first Wales vs North Macedonia prediction.

Wales vs North Macedonia Head-To-Head Record

There was a dramatic end to their March clash in Skopje when Bojan Miovski broke the deadlock for North Macedonia in stoppage time, but David Brooks hit back to earn Wales a 1-1 draw in the sixth minute of added time.

They also met during qualifying for the 2014 World Cup, with North Macedonia winning 2-1 at home, but Simon Church then giving the Dragons a 1-0 success in Cardiff.

Wales Form Guide

Craig Bellamy’s side recovered from a hat-trick of losses to Canada, England and Belgium by beating Liechtenstein 1-0 in Vaduz on Saturday, with Jordan James on target. That meant they have done the double over that nation and Kazakhstan, setting up this crucial contest. A win will give Wales a pot two placing in the play-offs and a home semi-final, but anything less will drop them down to the bottom pot and an away date with a top seed.

Skipper Ethan Ampadu and James are banned for this game, and Bellamy must also work around a sizeable injury list, but getting Harry Wilson back from suspension is a major boost. The Fulham midfielder has been his country’s best player in the Bellamy era, scoring six goals, and appeals at 5/2 to net again here in the Wales vs North Macedonia odds.

Don’t forget BOYLE Sports now have a great Sub Swap offer, which sees any individual player's bets carried over to their replacement if they are taken off!

North Macedonia Form Guide

Of course, there is the small matter of the visitors being unbeaten in seven outings in this pool, notably drawing at home and away against Belgium. North Macedonia crushed Liechtenstein 8-0 on aggregate over two encounters, but there are concerns over the last couple of results.

Blagoja Milevski’s side had to come from behind to draw 1-1 at home to Kazakhstan in this competition and were held to a goalless stalemate by Latvia in a Skopje friendly.

Victory over Italy in the 2022 World Cup play-offs was a memorable occasion, but subsequently losing to Portugal meant Euro 2020 is the only major tournament reached - and they were beaten in all three games there. Let’s finish off our Wales vs North Macedonia betting tips by taking 13/8 for the Dragons to prevail 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 in a tense affair.
