-----------------------------

Turkey will host North Macedonia in a World Cup warm-up friendly as they look to extend their impressive unbeaten run ahead of the 2026 tournament. Meanwhile, North Macedonia enters the match hoping to pull off a rare victory against an in-form opponent.

Team Analysis:

Turkey heads into the friendly in excellent form, carrying a six-match unbeaten streak after securing qualification for the 2026 World Cup and showing strength at both ends of the pitch. North Macedonia has been difficult to break down defensively, but a seven-game winless run and ongoing scoring struggles leave the visitors searching for a confidence-boosting result.

Player Situation:

Turkey will be without several injured players, including Kenan Yıldız and captain Hakan Çalhanoğlu, but still has plenty of attacking quality led by Kerem Aktürkoğlu. North Macedonia, meanwhile, is expected to rely on Eljif Elmas and Bojan Miovski in support of striker Elmin Rastoder while keeping a settled defensive setup.

Result Prediction:

Turkey enters the match with strong momentum despite several injury concerns and is expected to be confident of extending its impressive run before the World Cup. North Macedonia has struggled to turn solid performances into victories, but its defensive resilience could make life difficult for the hosts.

Predicted Result: Turkey 3-1 North Macedonia.
