Switzerland host FYR Macedonia in the UEFA Nations League. Switzerland have been picking up wins regularly across a decent run of matches, while Macedonia have really struggled to find the net in their recent games.
These two sides met only ten days before this fixture, with Switzerland winning comfortably. That result gives us something concrete to weigh up before we look at the wider form picture.

FYR Macedonia's away sample tells a very different story. Six matches, no wins, three draws, three defeats, and just a single goal scored while conceding nine. Whatever the opposition, that's a team badly short of firepower right now.
Macedonia's struggle to score is the standout number here, more than any single result.

They only just played each other
The head-to-head list shows just one meeting, and it's about as recent as it gets: Switzerland won 3-0 away in Macedonia on 26 September 2026, in this same Nations League cycle.

One match isn't a pattern, but it does confirm the gap in current form held up when these two actually met on the pitch.

What this points to
Put the numbers together and the picture is fairly clear. Switzerland have been scoring consistently and just beat this opponent 3-0. Macedonia have managed one goal in six games and lost the reverse fixture without scoring.
None of that guarantees a repeat scoreline. International squads can rotate, and a single big away win doesn't erase the fact that Macedonia held teams like Bosnia & Herzegovina and the Republic of Ireland to draws earlier in the year, even if they didn't score.

Everything in the evidence lines up in Switzerland's favour: better form, a heavier goal difference, and a comfortable win in the corresponding fixture just days earlier. That's a clear enough picture on paper.
Without any market information to check that picture against, though, there's no sensible way to back a specific selection here. We'd rather note the trend than guess at a price.
