Goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski has been kept busy, recording 15 saves across five matches, while the side overall has managed clearly less of the ball than its opponents. Switzerland, meanwhile, showed strong form during its World Cup campaign, winning three of its six matches, though it is without a win in its newest two. Attacker Johan Manzambi has been a significant contributor with three goals and two assists over the listed matches, supported by goalkeeper Gregor Kobel who has made 20 saves. The side has generally controlled possession and maintains a positive expected goals total over the period.

FYR Macedonia has conceded the majority of its goals in the second half, with 11 shipped after the break across its recent outings.
Switzerland's Johan Manzambi leads his side with five goal involvements over the listed matches, while FYR Macedonia's scoring is split between Bojan Miovski and Enis Bardhi.
Gregor Kobel has been a reliable presence for Switzerland, recording 20 saves over the listed matches, whereas Stole Dimitrievski has conceded 15 times for FYR Macedonia.

Switzerland enters this fixture with a more productive attacking record and a stronger recent run of results than its hosts. While FYR Macedonia has proven difficult to beat at home in past seasons, the side's current lack of goals and defensive struggles against higher-level opposition make this a challenging encounter. With Johan Manzambi leading the attack for Switzerland over the listed matches and Stole Dimitrievski facing a high volume of shots for the home side, the lean is for an away win.

Our records do not contain head-to-head history for this fixture, leaving the historical precedent between these two sides unknown.
