Scotland host North Macedonia in their penultimate League B1 match in the 2026-27 UEFA Nations League.
Victory would move third-placed Scotland level on seven points with second-placed Slovenia if the latter lose to Switzerland.
North Macedonia will remain bottom of the group irrespective of the result and will be relegated if they fail to win.
Team News
Luis Binks and Stephen Welsh are ruled out for Scotland due to muscle and knee injuries respectively.
North Macedonia have no fresh injury concerns to report, with a full squad available for selection.
When is Kick-Off?
Scotland host North Macedonia at Hampden Park, Glasgow, on Friday 13 November at 7:45pm GMT, live on BBC Scotland, BBC Two (in England/Northern Ireland/Wales) and BBC iPlayer in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Scotland won 2-0 in their only previous Nations League meeting against North Macedonia, albeit away in October 2026.
- North Macedonia are making their first Nations League trip to Scotland.
- None of Scotland’s four points in the group have been earned in Glasgow after defeats in their two home matches so far in this group (L2).
- North Macedonia are yet to score in the group.
Prediction
In what has been a below-par group campaign so far littered with far too much poor defending, Scotland at least have a chance to secure survival in League B with a game to spare as this honestly feels like must-win because I don’t see them winning away to Switzerland.
North Macedonia meanwhile have been absolutely toothless in front of goal in their four group matches so far so this is must-win if want to take the relegation fight to the final game, so I expect an improved performance from them.
Scotland though should realistically have enough quality to at least get the point needed to survive, but North Macedonia shouldn’t be underestimated.
Prediction: Scotland 1-1 North Macedonia
