In the last 10 games, Italy has 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses; 22 scored and 8 missed. North Macedonia has 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses; 16 scored and 12 missed.

Portugal fit in the optimal composition, only Pepe will not play through illness; North Macedonia also has a base, Boban Nikolov will not perform due to injury.

Bookmakers give odds of 1.21 for Portugal to win and 17 for North Macedonia; for a draw at 7.50. Both will score - no, quite a good bet and the most likely outcome in this match for 1.46. I think that the Portuguese will easily beat Macedonia, while the difference will be 2 or more goals.

Forecast: one of the teams will not score in the game Portugal - North Macedonia: odds 1.46; with the risk of Portugal's goal in both halves - odds 1.85
