Liechtenstein preview: Hoping to avoid a tough loss
Not even the biggest Liechtenstein fans probably expect anything out of this game, even though North Macedonia are hardly a force in European football. Still, Liechtenstein are clearly inferior in this matchup and last year they entered football history after being the first team to lose to San Marino in an official match and then they lost to them the second time a few months later.

North Macedonia preview: Looking for their sixth win in a row
With five wins in a row after drawing in the first round of their UEFA Nations League C group, North Macedonia have secured promotion to League B in a dominant fashion, proving that they're a team on the rise. After all, this team made the European Championship for the first time in their history in 2020, although they missed qualifying in 2024.
North Macedonia will be without Milan Ristovski and Darko Velkovski, who are currently dealing with injuries.

Player to watch: Bojan Miovski
While Miovski only has six goals in the national team so far, he scored four of them last year alone. The 25-year old forward has also struggled to carve out his role at Girona since arriving last summer, but he still managed to score four goals in 20 appearances.
All in all, Miovski is the focal point of North Macedonia's attack and our player to watch in this match.
