With the chance to secure their first-ever promotion to League B, North Macedonia will welcome Latvia to Tose Proeski Arena for a UEFA Nations League C contest on Thursday night.
North Macedonia:
The Lions are on the cusp of a historic promotion to League B, needing just a point against Latvia to secure the top spot in Group C4. North Macedonia have rediscovered their form with three consecutive wins in the Nations League, including a dominant 2-0 victory over their closest challengers, Armenia. Coach Blagoja Milevski’s side have shown impressive home form this year, remaining unbeaten in Skopje with wins over Moldova and Armenia. Having made significant strides since their days in League D, the Lions are well-positioned to cap their journey with a promotion on Thursday.
Latvia:
Latvia’s promotion hopes have dimmed after a difficult October international break, where they managed only a single point against North Macedonia and the Faroe Islands. Currently third in the group, Latvia could still secure a playoff spot if they leapfrog Armenia, though that path is challenging. The Wolves have struggled away from home, enduring a 10-game winless streak and last tasting victory on the road in 2022. Facing a North Macedonia side with four straight wins in this fixture, Latvia will need to overcome both history and recent form to keep their promotion dreams alive.
Prediction: 2-0
