Scotland are preparing to face North Macedonia in a match described as decisive for Group E of the UEFA Nations League. Both sides are seeking an advantage in the group, adding significance to the fixture for supporters across Europe.

Their recent form offers contrasting indicators. Scotland have won three of their last five matches, losing twice and drawing none. Across that run, they scored six goals and conceded five. North Macedonia, meanwhile, have won just once in their last five, alongside two draws and two defeats. They have scored one goal and conceded 15. Their most recent match ended in a 4-0 defeat to Turkey; they also lost 4-0 to Denmark in World Cup qualifying.

The teams last met in September 2013, when Scotland won 2-1 away in North Macedonia during World Cup qualifying.
