Austria vs North Macedonia: Numbers you need to know before their UEFA Euro 2020 encounter

North Macedonia have a point to prove

North Macedonia have already achieved a massive feat by qualifying for the first major tournament in their history this year. The North Macedonians won three games in the Euro 2020 qualifiers and eased past their personal best by a considerable margin.

At 37 years of age, Goran Pandev is the fourth-oldest player at Euro 2020 and is also the only player in the North Macedonia squad to have won the UEFA Champions League.

Austria do not have a particularly glittering record at the Euros and have never moved past the group stage. Marcel Sabitzer is Austria's chief creative force and has registered eight goals and three assists in the Bundesliga this season.

Austria also have an unwanted record at the Euros and have played six games without registering a victory in the tournament. David Alaba's side will be intent on some course correction at UEFA Euro 2020 this weekend.
