Austria vs North Macedonia will be the opening match for Group C in this edition of EURO, initially set for 2020 and pushed to 2021, due to the covid-19 pandemic.
Both nations can’t be considered giants when it comes to football, but they will both be keen on making a good start in this tournament.
This will be the third participation of Austria at the final phase of the European Championship; the first and second ones being in 2008 and 2016 respectively. They earned their ticket to this edition after obtaining a second group spot in a much-disputed Group G.
On the other hand, this will be the first-ever participation of North Macedonia in the UEFA European Championship. They had to battle for a qualification spot through play-offs (Group D).
As a short reminder, the first 2 nations of the group will advance to the knockout phase, while the third could still make it to the knockouts depending on how the other group results will look like. Ukraine and Netherlands (group favorites) are the other teams in this Group C.
The venue for the encounter will be the National Arena, Bucharest.

Now, BET-IBC Tipster Team presents free predictions for the match:
Duarte: Match to be played in a neutral stadium. If we compare the two teams, there is a difference in quality between them. Macedonia is probably the worst team in the entire league and Austria are in a position to fight Ukraine for a place in the next round.
Realtu: In a weird move that may very well go against all others here, I will support a win for North Macedonia. They had a decent streak of victories, including an interesting victory against Germany, and with a conservative stake, I believe they are worth the risk here.
Sherbet: These two teams have met before in the Euro qualifiers, those are the only two matches in which these teams have met. Both matches were dominated by Austria with results of 2-1 and 1-4, showing their offensive potential.
IgorTips: Austria had a good qualifying stage and we witnessed a great offensive power with them. For North Macedonia, participating in this tournament is already a dream, so I don’t expect them to get good results in this stage.
LLYTips: Both of the last two matches between these countries have finished with a score of over 2.5 goals and this is what I expect to see on Sunday as well. In my opinion, Austria will be attacking for sure, while North Macedonia will show the best defense.
GC Sports Betting: Austria are the favorites to win this match but for me they shouldn’t underestimate their opponents. Macedonia have found the net in 14 of their previous 15 games. Austria have scored in 10 of their previous 12 matches and conceded in 9 of those games. Odds look great value here.
Portugal Tipster: I believe in a surprise from North Macedonia here, the line +1 AH in their favor seems to have value for me. The recent victory of the Macedonians over Germany increases the team’s level of confidence. Austria has had better phases, they recently lost against Sweden by 4-0.
Lady Murasaki: North Macedonia are one of two teams making their EURO debut, along with Finland in Group B, Austria are taking part for the third time in the last four editions of the UEFA European Championship. The last two direct confrontations ended with victories for the Austrian team of 2-1 and 1-4.
Mattybet: In the qualifications, Austria beat their current rival North Macedonia and this narrowly managed to qualify in the playoffs for the first time in history. But Austria has a solid defense and I think they cannot be beaten by North Macedonia.
Kvasir: For this match, I expect North Macedonia to play safe and be cautious giving the fact that this is their first match at European Championship ever. Austria is a team with good offensive line, but I don’t see them scoring many goals. That’s why I’ve decided to go with an under line.
No Man: With North Macedonia making their debut in the Euro tournament, I see them building on their 4-0 win over Kazakhstan. As such, I see more of a draw here which I will be able to cover with the Asian line +1.25.
Lorysan: In the sixth match of Euro 2020, the Austrian national team will play with the debutant of the tournaments of the North Macedonian national team. I think that the Macedonians will put up a worthy resistance to the Austrians. Perhaps we will see a Macedonian victory or a draw here.
Tipster BetF: Austria have shown good football when they face teams of their level. North Macedonia’s performance in the last 5 games was remarkable, registering 3W – 1D – 1L, and scored 14 goals in the process. It will be well contested match and we may see over 2 goals scored.
TheTrollmanSha: Austria are better team than opponent and with more experienced players. They played 2 H2H so far against this opponent and they did 2 wins, they won one of them 4-1 and with pretty good odds their win worth a try. North Macedonia did pretty well in last matches but i don’t see them winning or taking a draw here.
Mitch: It will be the very first participation in an international competition for the Macedonians, so they will want to create a certain surprise, but they will have in front of them an Austrian team which arrives in this competition full of confidence, the 3 points are within their reach and I think they will take them.
Salahsyh: Austria will be playing against North Macedonia. Austria is ahead in Fifa Rankings than their opponents. Austria has good quality players such as Alaba, Sabitzer. North Macedonia would definitely struggle here. I expect Austria to pick up the win
Asian Football Bets: Austria has a really tough group and the only match they can collect points is against North Macedonia. Thus, I suppose they will play offensively against the underdog of group C.
