Croatia vs North Macedonia Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Kennedy Kechula in Football Predictions
Croatia will host North Macedonia on Monday in the first of their two friendly matches ahead of Euro 2024. After previous fails at the Euros, there’s a feeling this will be the last dance for the golden generation of Croatia. They will want to go to Germany on a high after finishing second in their group in qualifiers. Taking on an off-color Macedonian side should be good for the Croats’ morale though. They come into this encounter unbeaten in their last four matches. Two wins in their final group games saw them finish just a point below Turkey in the qualifiers. Zlatko Dalic’s side built up to their summer activities with friendlies against Tunisia and Egypt. After a 0-0 draw with Tunisia, they beat Egypt 4-2 in their most recent game. That was their fifth win in the last eight matches, a period in which they only lost twice. For a team that reached at least the semis in the last two World Cup competitions, Croatia are expected to do better at the Euros. All that will start with the form they carry from the pre-tournament friendlies.
North Macedonia have hit a low of their own. This time they failed to book a ticket to the Euros and neither have they strung together impressive results coming here. Their 1-0 loss to Montenegro last time out marked a fourth straight winless outing for the visitors. That was however, only the third time in 14 matches that they failed to score. While they haven't been too shady in attack, North Macedonia come into this game without many clean sheets. In the last 10 matches they have just one, attained in a 2-0 win over Malta. A poor run in the Euro qualifiers saw Blagoja Milevski’s charges finish fourth in Group C, having won just twice. Heading into this game, the loss to Montenegro left them with five defeats in the last 10 matches, and they’ve won just twice in that period. North Macedonia haven't had a great run when meeting Croatia either, in the last five encounters, they lost four times.

Our Croatia vs North Macedonia Prediction
Our prediction for Croatia v North Macedonia is for Croatia to win but both teams to score. Croatia have been growing in strength in their recent matches, and that should give them the needed morale coming into this encounter. They’ve dominated previous meetings with North Macedonia, who don’t carry to this game a very good run. One area Croatia will have to be wary of though, is Macedonia’s ability in attack. The visitors have rarely gone without scoring, as much as they have few clean sheets too.
