Key player - Bulgaria
In Bulgaria there is a man with a thirst for goals, a predator, a man who gives everything for his national team and his team, Ludogorets. His name is Kiril Despodov, and in the current Nations League, he has accumulated two goals in four games with 100% shooting accuracy.
Key player - Macedonia
Among the men who make up the Macedonian squad is Enis Bardhi, a jewel of the Turkish team, Trabzonspor. Sadly, they lost their place in the Champions League, but Bardhi has a lot to prove in his national team, so much so that he has already scored two goals in these five rounds.
Bulgaria
Bulgaria are in a similar situation where draws have been their salvation. They have three draws, one win and one loss in the current UEFA Nations League. They have six points, which leaves them behind Macedonia in third place in the table.
Macedonia
The locals have had an irregular season in the tournament. They have two wins, two defeats and a draw, which have earned them seven points, keeping them in second place just behind Georgia, which has 13 points and is the group leader.
Stadium
