vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Group 1 of Nations League B is at its start and the two sides have no previous meetings, so recent outings count. FYR Macedonia have not won any of their last six games: three draws and three defeats, one goal scored and fifteen conceded. The latest is a 0-4 at Türkiye on 1 June, before that a 0-0 at Bosnia & Herzegovina and a 0-0 at Rep. Of Ireland; further back a 0-4 at Denmark, a 1-7 at Wales and a 0-0 against Latvia. Scotland have won three of their last six and lost three, with nine goals for and six against. They come off two World Cup defeats, a 0-3 against Brazil on 24 June and a 0-1 against Morocco; before that a 1-0 at Haiti, a 4-0 at Bolivia and a 4-1 against Curaçao, and further back a 0-1 against Ivory Coast. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
