What channel is Italy v North Macedonia World Cup qualifiers play-off on? Kick off time and live stream details
Check out how to watch Italy v North Macedonia in the World Cup Qualifiers this week, including TV details, team news, predictions and odds.
It seems unthinkable that EURO 2020 champions Italy could not be at the 2022 Qatar World Cup but that will be the case should they suffer defeat in either of their next two games.
On Thursday, Roberto Mancini's side host North Macedonia at the Renzo Barbera in Palermo in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, with both sides battling for the chance to face either Portugal or Turkey for a place in the tournament in Qatar later this year.
Italy went unbeaten in World Cup European Qualifying Group C but their inability to turn draws into wins meant they finished behind Switzerland while surprise packages North Macedonia finished second in World Cup European Qualifying Group J, with only Germany ahead of them.
Ranked 61 places higher in the FIFA Rankings, the Azzurri will be the heavy favourites but Mancini and co. would be wise not to underestimate their opponents, who beat Germany last year.

Our prediction: Italy v North Macedonia
The absence of experienced Italian defensive duo Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci is a certainly blow for the hosts but Mancini will back his side to get the job done without them.
North Macedonia are in the play-offs on merit and are not to be taken lightly but we saw in EURO 2020 just how hard to beat this Italy side are.
They are unbeaten in 2022 World Cup qualifying and we can expect that to continue on Thursday evening – it would be a massive shock not to see them progress.
Our prediction: Italy 2-0 North Macedonia (9/2 at Bet365)
