North Macedonia vs Wales Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder Tips for Macedonia vs Wales features Wales to Win, Under 2.5 Goals & Over 8.5 Corners.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 7/1 with Unibet.
- Wales, under Craig Bellamy, are unbeaten in seven competitive matches since his appointment, including a 3-1 win over Kazakhstan recently. They sit 29th in the FIFA rankings, 38 places above North Macedonia (67th). North Macedonia started with a 3-0 win over Liechtenstein, but that was against a much weaker side (211th). Wales have won three of their last four and beat North Macedonia 1-0 in their last meeting (2013).
- North Macedonia have kept clean sheets in their last six competitive matches, conceding just once in their last ten home games. Wales, while offensively capable, have seen under 2.5 goals in four of their last six away qualifiers. The hosts’ defensive resilience and a potentially cautious approach from both sides in this early group-stage clash suggest a low-scoring affair.
- Wales games averaged 10 corners a game in their Nations League campaign, North Macedonia’s attacking intent was proven in their last game (7 corners vs. Liechtenstein). Both sides have seen high corner counts in recent qualifiers— the Wales game had 8 vs. Kazakhstan.
