In the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, North Macedonia welcomes Italy for a fifth round clash at the Todor Proeski Arena in Skopje. The match is part of a group stage where both nations chase the second spot, with the group leader already distant, leaving little room for error. North Macedonia arrive aiming to capitalize on home conditions as they attempt to climb the standings, while Italy look to consolidate their position after a steady start to the qualifiers.
The Red Lynx suffered a heavy 0-7 defeat to England on matchday four, leaving Blagoja Milevski’s side in fourth place in Group C with three points. The setback serves as a reminder that every fixture in this cycle carries high stakes, and a positive result against Italy would mark a significant step toward their broader goals this year. Italy, coached by Luciano Spalletti, posted a 2-0 victory over Malta in their most recent competitive outing, with goals from Mateo Retegui and Matteo Pessina helping to solidify their position in the group with three points as well.
The Euro 2024 qualifying process features a structured schedule of groups, fixtures, and results that determine which teams advance to the finals. North Macedonia and Italy both rely on consistency and tactical discipline to maximize their chances of finishing in the top two of their pool, where the competition continues to tighten as the calendar progresses. The path to qualification demands not only talent but also smart rotation, fitness management, and the ability to perform in different environments across Europe.
