World Cup qualifying Betting Preview: Wales vs North Macedonia

A play-off spot is up for grabs as Wales welcome North Macedonia to Cardiff City Stadium, with kick-off set for 14:45 on Tuesday 18 November. A win or a draw will be enough for North Macedonia, while the Dragons need all three points.

We’re heading to the Full-Time Result market and selecting Wales to land a victory, with odds of -164 looking generous. We think they should be able to overcome North Macedonia over ninety minutes.

Wales won their last World Cup qualifier, earning a 1–0 victory away to Liechtenstein at Rheinpark Stadion on Saturday. The Dragons boasted an impressive 77% of possession and managed seven shots on target, with Jordan James scoring the winning goal in the 63rd minute.

Second-placed North Macedonia drew their previous game which was at home. The World Cup qualifying action at Todor Proeski Arena ended 1-1 against Kazakhstan. Blagoja Milevski's side boasted 60% possession and had eight shots on goal, with Enis Bardhi on the scoresheet.
