Italy will be aiming to overtake Ukraine in second place in Group C when they welcome North Macedonia to Stadio Olimpico on Friday evening.
This has to go down as a must-win game for the Azzurri and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Blagoja Milevski’s troops.
Andrea Cambiaso and Andera Colpani have received their first call-ups, while Juventus ace Federico Chiesa returns from injury. Lazio striker Ciro Immobile has been omitted.
The Macedonians, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Ukraine in October and given the importance of Friday’s clash for Luciano Spalletti’s troops, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed.
A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be former Leeds United full-back Egzjan Alioski, who has netted 12 goals in 67 appearances for the North Macedonia national team.
This match will be played on 17/11/2023 at 20:45
Prediction: 2-0
Recommended Pick: Italy to Win.
