Republic of Ireland host North Macedonia in an International Friendly on Tuesday, 31 March 2026, with kick-off at 7:45 PM (WAT).
Match Preview
Ireland under their manager are in a transitional period, rebuilding their squad with young Premier League and Championship-based talents. At home in Dublin, Ireland always produce passionate, physical performances and will look to win in front of their fervent home support.
North Macedonia famously qualified for Euro 2020 and defeated Germany in the process, with the legendary Goran Pandev leading the way. Since his retirement, North Macedonia have been rebuilding but still carry competitive quality in their squad. This friendly is a good opportunity for them to test themselves against European opposition.
Our Prediction
Ireland at home should have enough to win this one. We back the Boys in Green to win narrowly in a tight, physical encounter.
