In the UEFA Nations League tonight, North Macedonia will host Switzerland at Nacionalna Arena Tose Proeski in an attempt to snap their eight-game losing streak. In the meantime, the visitors want to recover after losing to Argentina in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinals.
With a first-place finish in 2024–2025, North Macedonia won five of their six Group 4 games and drew one, securing their promotion from League C to League B of the Nations League.
Switzerland had an incredible run of results, including an undefeated qualifying campaign that secured their spot in the 2026 World Cup.
Building on such outcomes, the Lions had a successful World Cup qualifying run in Group J, winning three, drawing four, and losing only one of their eight games.
After placing last in League A Group 4 in 2024–2025 and earning just two points after two draws and four losses, Switzerland are now in League B of the Nations League.
Manager Murat Yakin will be missing his skipper Granit Xhaka and Breel Embolo, who currently has a ban due to a red card, for the game against North Macedonia.
North Macedonia are on a dismal run of form and haven’t won any of their past eight games. So expectations are low.
Their most recent victory was against Liechtenstein more than a year ago. Meanwhile, their most recent victory over a country in the top 50 was against Italy in 2022.
