North Macedonia will host Armenia at the Mladost Stadium on Tuesday in a friendly clash between the two teams.
The home side have struggled for results in the 2024 European Championship qualifiers so far and now look set to miss out on the final tournament in the summer. They were beaten 2-0 by Ukraine last time out, conceding a goal in either half. They were perhaps fortunate not to have lost by a larger margin.
North Macedonia will now be looking to shake off their latest results and put out a positive performance in front of their home supporters this week.
Armenia have also hit a rough patch in the European qualifiers of late. They were beaten 2-0 by 10-man Latvia in their last group game and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target in the opposition box throughout the game as they handed the 11 Wolves their first victory of the tournament.
