Scotland v North Macedonia Predictions, Betting Tips & H2H 13/11/2026

As the Nations League resumes, our attention shifts to Scotland as they host North Macedonia at Hampden Park in Glasgow. Our soccer predictions have the hosts winning 1-0 at the final whistle. We predict Scotland will outscore the visitors and hold them off for a clean sheet.

This is hardly a courageous pick, especially given how one-sided this match seems on paper. Our model has a Scotland victory at 62%, with North Macedonia securing all three points at 14%. The Macedonians have lost five in a row without scoring, and we don’t see that changing in this mid-week game.

Scotland are not exactly high-flying, which is not a surprise to most football betting fans. They have one win in five matches, with 3 goals scored and 8 conceded. The Scots have lost both home games in the Nations League so far this season, averaging 2.5 goals conceded per match.

However, the only Scottish win so far came against North Macedonia. The Scots made the trip and came away with a 2-0 win, even with a late red card for Scott McKenna. If you are keen on placing a Nations League bet on this match, betting on another Scottish victory feels like the only sensible option.

However, that doesn’t mean that picking a winner will have good returns. Instead, you can look at over/under betting. While half the matches involving these sides have gone over 2.5 goals, that’s normally because of the opposition. North Macedonia are without a goal in eight matches, and Scotland have scored three across their last five games. Betting on under 2.5 goals is the better option, and it matches what happened when these teams last met.

Handicap betting is a far greater risk, especially if you want to support North Macedonia. You can look at Scotland, but they are averaging less than one goal per game in the tournament. Betting on them to clear by two or more is a risk not worth taking. Instead, Scotland +1 is as far as we would go using this market.

Neither side has great statistics when looking at discipline. North Macedonia averages 3 yellow cards a game, over double the 1.3 yellows the Scots pick up. However, Scotland has registered two red cards in four games, including the last time they faced this team in early October. Betting on over 4 yellow cards is a great opportunity, but it’s Scotland who give us reason to pause. An early red card could swing this game wide open for the visitors.

Live betting on this match does not make much sense as we expect the hosts to dominate the ball. Only jump into the action if North Macedonia get on the board before Scotland, and then bet on a comeback. Otherwise, we see this being a straightforward 1-0 win, but it could reach as high as 2-0 like the previous meeting.
