Scotland have two matches to alter their Nations League destiny, following a disappointing international break last time out that saw them win one of four matches and score just three goals.

But they did win in Skopje last month and my Scotland vs North Macedonia prediction is that they will do the same again and give themselves a chance of a top-two finish in Group 1 of League B.

Scotland vs North Macedonia Odds

Despite an inconsistent start to Sébastien Pocognoli’s managerial reign, his Scotland side go into the clash at Hampden as heavy favourites with PricedUp.

1X2: Scotland 1/5; Draw 11/2; North Macedonia 14/1

Both Teams to Score: Yes 8/5; No 4/9

Over/Under 2.5 Goals: Overs 8/13; Unders 23/20

The hosts haven’t really got going yet under their new Belgian boss, but there’s compelling evidence to suggest that this will be an easy victory, even on Friday the 13th…

James’ Scotland vs North Macedonia predictions can be backed with PricedUp and odds are correct as of 10am GMT on Friday 13 November.

Scotland Betting Trends

With Switzerland and Slovenia completing the foursome, this always had the look of a tricky group for Scotland and it isn’t a great surprise to see them sit third after four games:

The Scots were beaten in both of their opening two home games, 3-0 to Switzerland and 2-1 to Slovenia.
In their seven competitive matches this year they’ve scored just four goals.
In five meetings with North Macedonia they’ve lost only once, winning three times and drawing the other.

Goals have long been a problem for this Scotland side, but they should have enough on home soil to get past opponents that are going through one of the worst runs of form in their history.

North Macedonia Betting Trends

To say the form book makes for unpleasant reading for North Macedonians would be something of an understatement:

Their last victory came 13 months ago against European minnows Liechtenstein.
A 7-1 World Cup qualifying defeat to Wales in November 2025 was the last time North Macedonia scored a goal.
They have lost all four of their Nations League Group B games, with just one shot on target to show for their efforts.

…yikes.

The visitors need a win here to stand any chance of avoiding an instant return to League C, but with stats like these, it’s hard to make much of a case for them.

Scotland vs North Macedonia Prediction - Scotland to Win and Under 3.5 Goals @ EVS

Scotland are certainly capable of handing out a thrashing here, but they haven’t really had their shooting boots on in 2026, while the lack of a top quality striker could see them frustrated in front of goal.

All five of their meetings with North Macedonia have seen Under 3.5 Goals and with the visitors in a deep, deep rut at the moment, this has the look of a comfortable, yet unspectacular victory in Glasgow.

More Scotland vs North Macedonia Picks and Best Bets

Scott McTominay to Score Anytime @ 6/5 - The Napoli man heads into this one in fine form, scoring five goals in his last six games.

Over 2.5 North Macedonia Corners @ 5/4 - This has been a winner in two of their four Nations League games and looks like a good value bet, despite their recent struggles.
Scotland to Win both Halves @ 13/10 - North Macedonia have lost seven of their eight halves of football during the current Nations League cycle, making this price very appealing.
