Whilst North Macedonia’s stunning victory in Germany little over two months ago was certainly unexpected, the fact that they scored was somewhat less of a surprise.
Including that World Cup qualifier in March, Igor Angelovski’s men have now scored in 32 of their last 37 outings – striking against the likes of Spain and Italy as well as Germany.
In fact, they scored in both qualifying meetings between these nations and should be able to find the net once again considering Austria have managed only a single clean sheet in their most recent seven games.

North Macedonia to score is available at 4/5 (1.80) with bet365 and looks the way to go for this Euro 2020 Group C match in Romania.
Also worth considering is both teams to score at 6/5 (2.20), which offers good odds-against value as it has landed in eight of the last 11 competitive games that Angelovski’s side have played.
