At <strong>FIFA rank #113<\/strong>, they face an uphill task in a pool dominated by European giants <strong>Belgium (#8)<\/strong> and <strong>Wales (#29)<\/strong>. Under new manager <strong>Ali Aliyev<\/strong>, the Kazakhs are still finding their feet, and their upcoming match against <strong>North Macedonia (#67)<\/strong> might just be their toughest challenge yet, outside of the group\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Form Guide: Kazakhstan Struggling to Find Rhythm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kazakhstan opened their WCQ campaign with a predictable 3-1 loss away in Wales before registering a modest 2-0 win over minnows Liechtenstein. But optimism is in short supply. On home soil in 2024, Kazakhstan has <strong>yet to score a single goal<\/strong> in competitive fixtures (D1, L2)\u2014a statistic that underscores their lack of attacking potency and home advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their recent 4-1 friendly defeat to <strong>Belarus<\/strong> further highlighted the ongoing defensive vulnerabilities, despite young <strong>Galymzhan Kenzhebek<\/strong> getting on the scoresheet for his first international goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">North Macedonia: A Quietly Rising Force<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, North Macedonia is currently on an <strong>impressive nine-match unbeaten run (W6, D3)<\/strong>. Under long-term manager <strong>Blagoja Milevski<\/strong>, they\u2019ve shown discipline and resilience, holding both <strong>Wales<\/strong> and <strong>Belgium<\/strong> to 1-1 draws at home in this qualification campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, North Macedonia is thriving on the road, too. Their last three away games have ended in wins against lower-ranked sides like <strong>Armenia<\/strong> and <strong>Latvia<\/strong>, countries whose footballing level closely mirrors that of Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <strong>Bojan Miovski<\/strong> in form, scoring or assisting in 12 unbeaten games (W10, D2) for his country, North Macedonia has both the stability and momentum to aim higher than just third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Players to Watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Galymzhan Kenzhebek (Kazakhstan)<\/strong>: Showed potential in the Belarus friendly with a debut goal. Can he make a difference in a high-stakes match?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bojan Miovski (North Macedonia)<\/strong>: A reliable performer, Miovski is a game-changer, especially when facing lower-ranked opposition. His knack for delivering in key moments could tip the scale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5defbec9c9ffcbd6096c2a9aaf8ed5e04660794231dec62a2ef54c8d1f9ae590-800-500.webp\" alt=\"Kazakhstan vs North Macedonia: WCQ Prediction, Preview &amp; Betting Tips\" class=\"wp-image-10685\" style=\"width:967px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5defbec9c9ffcbd6096c2a9aaf8ed5e04660794231dec62a2ef54c8d1f9ae590-800-500.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5defbec9c9ffcbd6096c2a9aaf8ed5e04660794231dec62a2ef54c8d1f9ae590-800-500-300x188.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5defbec9c9ffcbd6096c2a9aaf8ed5e04660794231dec62a2ef54c8d1f9ae590-800-500-768x480.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5defbec9c9ffcbd6096c2a9aaf8ed5e04660794231dec62a2ef54c8d1f9ae590-800-500-150x94.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5defbec9c9ffcbd6096c2a9aaf8ed5e04660794231dec62a2ef54c8d1f9ae590-800-500-696x435.webp 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Match Prediction: Kazakhstan vs North Macedonia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All signs point towards another frustrating night for Kazakhstan.
