In the next match of the European Football Championship, the players of the national teams of Austria and North Macedonia will come face to face. Which of the opponents will be able to win in the face-to-face confrontation?
Austria
The Austrian national team looked uncertain in recent meetings. She failed to win any friendly matches before the European Football Championship.

The Austrians spent the March training camp very poorly, managing to win over the Faroe Islands (3: 1), draw with Scotland (2:2) and conceding four unanswered goals from Denmark (0:4). After the defeat by the Danes, Austria's scoring streak continued in the match with England, to which they lost with a score of 0:1. The team could not break the series in the game with Slovakia (0:0).
North Macedonia
Macedonians, in turn, have something to brag about. They have 4 wins in 6 meetings, and only one loss. North Macedonia is approaching this match with a winless series of 4 matches. The nominal guests performed well in the opening matches of the selection for the World Cup. In the first round, the Macedonians lost to Romania, but then they were able to defeat Liechtenstein (5: 0), and in the next game they defeated Germany. In early June, North Macedonia played two friendly matches, drawing with Slovenia (1: 1), as well as defeating Kazakhstan (4:0).
