Prediction: Belgium VS North Macedonia 2025-06-06

The battle of the underdog vs the powerhouse. North Macedonia, the team that's been on a hot streak, taking on Belgium, the team that's been, well, not so much.

North Macedonia is riding an eight-game unbeaten streak, with a stout defense that's only conceded one goal in that span. They've also got some momentum from their recent wins and draws, including a 5-0 thrashing of Liechtenstein and a 1-1 draw against Wales.

On the other hand, Belgium has been struggling, with only one win in their last six games and a dismal away record, losing three of their last four on the road. Their offense has been inconsistent, scoring fewer than three goals in their last three games against North Macedonia.

Given these stats, I'm going to take a contrarian approach and say that North Macedonia has a good chance of getting on the scoreboard. And with Belgium's offense being, well, not as potent as it used to be, I think we might see a low-scoring affair.

My best bet for this match is: Under 2.5 goals at 1.96 (BetOnline.ag). I think North Macedonia's defense will be able to contain Belgium's offense, and the match will be a tight, low-scoring contest.

As for the "both teams to score" bet, I think it's a bit of a long shot, given North Macedonia's solid defense and Belgium's inconsistent offense. But hey, if you want to take a chance, the coefficient of 1.99 might be worth a look.

So, there you have it. North Macedonia to give Belgium a run for their money, and a low-scoring match to boot. Let's see how it plays out!
