Betting prediction for the match Austria - Northern Macedonia
Η Austria will have the initiative and Northern Macedonia will first look to cut its creation by isolating Zambitzer and then with its main spokesman Elmas to look for coldness.
It will be difficult for them to succeed, as the Austrians are superior as a team and also have a much higher quality as units.
Y.K. Due to the fact that Northern Macedonia has not yet changed the name of the Football Federation of Northern Macedonia, according to the Prespa Agreement, and decided during EURO2020 not to use the correct national abbreviation / acronym "NM" or "RN" of Macedonia, but will use the country code of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is contrary to the internationally established practice that requires the exact name of each country to be reflected in the abbreviations / acronyms, we will not be able to have a badge of their football team . When they modify it to correspond to the football team of Northern Macedonia, we will be able to add it to the images that accompany our texts.
