Nations League: North Macedonia Eyes Upset vs. Struggling Switzerland
26 Sep
Summary
- North Macedonia seeks to end an eight-game losing streak tonight.
- Switzerland aims to recover from a FIFA World Cup quarterfinal loss.
- Key Swiss players Xhaka and Embolo are unavailable due to suspension.
North Macedonia faces Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League, desperate to end an eight-game winless run. The home side enters this match after securing promotion to League B, having dominated their 2024-25 League C group. They aim to replicate their 2022 success against Italy.
Switzerland, buoyed by their 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal appearance, seeks to rebound. Despite their recent success, they have been relegated to League B after a poor showing in their previous Nations League group. Manager Murat Yakin will miss captain Granit Xhaka and banned striker Breel Embolo for this encounter.
North Macedonia's recent form is a major concern, with their last victory occurring over a year ago against Liechtenstein. The team's ability to challenge a strong Swiss side remains uncertain, given their extended run of poor results.
