View all available markets at William Hill

• Scotland have collected four points from their opening four Nations League matches (W1, D1, L2), leaving Sébastien Pocognoli’s side third in Group B1. The Scots trail second-placed Slovenia by three points with just two fixtures remaining.
• Hampden has offered little encouragement so far, with Scotland losing both home group games against Switzerland and Slovenia. The hosts have scored just once and conceded five goals across those two matches, highlighting their recent difficulties on home soil.
• However, Scotland are unbeaten in their last four meetings with North Macedonia (W3, D1), including October’s 2-0 victory in Skopje. The hosts will be hoping to repeat that performance on Friday, with William Hill offering 2/11 for another victory.

• North Macedonia have endured a miserable start to their Nations League campaign, losing all four matches without scoring. Goce Sedloski’s side sit bottom of Group B1 without a point, having conceded ten goals during those defeats.
• Their struggles represent a sharp contrast to last season, when North Macedonia went unbeaten in six matches (W5, D1) to secure promotion from League C. The visitors conceded just once throughout that successful campaign, highlighting how difficult the step up has proved.
• North Macedonia have won five of their 13 Nations League away fixtures (D4, L4), although neither of their two trips in this campaign has produced a goal. The visitors will be hoping to end that run at Hampden, with William Hill offering 12/1 for a surprise victory.
