Scotland vs FYR Macedonia — match analysis

⚽ Scotland vs FYR Macedonia 📅 13 November 2026, 19:45 UTC 🏟 Barclays Hampden, Glasgow — UEFA Nations League 🏆 RESULT ASSESSMENT Scotland to win Winner confidence: Medium No numerical probability was supplied. 🛡 SAFER RESULT ASSESSMENT Scotland or Draw (1X) Double-chance confidence: Medium-high 12: NO PICK — a draw cannot safely be excluded. X2: Opposed by the available results evidence. 🥅 GOALS Over 1.5 goals — Medium confidence Supported by seven of eight recent team-match observations and FYR Macedonia conceding at least twice in every group match. Under 3.5 goals — Medium-high confidence All eight observations finished with three or fewer goals. Over/Under 2.5 — NO PICK Both four-match samples split evenly at this line. 📊 BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE BTTS No — Medium-high confidence FYR Macedonia failed to score in all four group matches, while BTTS failed in seven of eight observations. Scotland’s defensive withdrawals reduce confidence slightly. 🎯 INDICATIVE SCORES Primary: Scotland 2-0 FYR Macedonia Score confidence: Medium-low Alternative score range: Scotland 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 FYR Macedonia Score-range confidence: Low 🔎 OVERALL CONFIDENCE Medium-low Scotland won the reverse fixture 2-0, while FYR Macedonia lost all four group matches, scoring no goals and conceding ten. However, Scotland lost both group matches at home, so the outright home win is not assessed with high confidence. The evidence covers only four matches per team and partly overlaps through the reverse fixture. ⚠️ What could change the picture? Neither starting XI was confirmed when the research was checked. Scotland defenders Stephen Welsh and Luis Binks were reported to have withdrawn through injury, and a complete current FYR Macedonia availability list was unavailable. Scotland’s two home defeats, including five goals conceded, remain the main counterargument. The assessment should be reconsidered if late team news materially changes either attack or Scotland’s defence. 🕒 Research checked: 13 November 2026, approximately 01:30 UTC.
