Scotland and North Macedonia are both in search of their first victory in the UEFA Nations League as they face off in Skopje on Saturday. Currently, North Macedonia is at the bottom of League B Group 1, trailing their visitors by one point, and this matchup appears crucial for avoiding relegation. Switzerland, the group favorites, highlighted their strength with a 3-0 victory over Scotland at Hampden Park on Tuesday, taking advantage of Scotland playing most of the match with ten men. Jack Hendry's early dismissal was a significant setback for Scotland, who have now failed to score in four consecutive matches, including two scoreless outings against Brazil and Morocco during the recent World Cup. In the meantime, Sebastien Pocognoli's first match as head coach ended in a goalless draw against Slovenia, marking a challenging start for the Belgian manager. If Scotland does not secure a win on Saturday, Pocognoli would join the ranks of only three other Scotland managers who started their tenure without a victory in their first three games. However, there is still an opportunity to improve their standing in Group 1. Scotland has two more matches lined up in November, but first, they must focus on this encounter in Skopje before returning to face Slovenia in Glasgow. Since their initial loss to North Macedonia in September 2008, Scotland has remained unbeaten in their last three meetings, showcasing a strong away performance recently. Under the previous management of Steve Clarke, Scotland has only lost once in their last seven away matches across all competitions, achieving clean sheets in five of those games.
