North Macedonia vs Scotland: What's the story?
Sebastien Pocognoli is still waiting for his first goal and first win as Scotland head coach, and Saturday's trip to Skopje gives him the chance to put that right.
The Tartan Army played out a goalless draw with Slovenia before losing 3-0 at home to Switzerland, leaving them with just one point from their opening two games.
Pocognoli will be without defender Jack Hendry, who is suspended, while Andy Robertson is expected to captain the side.
Midfielder Lewis Ferguson has been a busy presence in the middle of the park, conceding four fouls in each of Scotland's opening two matches.
North Macedonia's start has been even tougher to stomach, with Goce Sedloski's side bottom of the group after two defeats in which they have scored none and conceded five.
The hosts have now failed to score in six games in a row and have not won in 10 matches across all competitions.
They earned promotion from League C last time out, but they will need to turn things around quickly to avoid a battle against relegation.
Skipper Enis Bardhi is set to win his 84th cap, having scored 20 international goals, and he will be central to any hopes of ending that drought.
There is some encouragement for the hosts, though, as they have not suffered back-to-back home defeats since 2019.
A victory would lift them above Scotland in the table before they travel to table-topping Switzerland for the final match of this international break.
Saturday's meeting is the first between the two nations in 13 years, with Scotland ranked 42nd in the world and North Macedonia 69th, and the bookmakers have made the visitors favourites.
