After losing to England (and with expectation that they beat North Macedonia), Italy will now have to play a decider away to Ukraine.
They really complicated their lives in this group, although both of their losses came against the leader of the group.
If I'm calculating correctly, a draw there would be enough - meaning that Italy is still my favorite to qualify from this group.

After North Macedonia knocked Italy out of the World Cup qualifiers and drew the first game with Italy in this qualifier, I would say that the first decisive game will be with North Macedonia
If you think like this, then in the event of a victory over Italy, North Macedonia still has a game with England (which has already decided its issues), so if North Macedonia takes 6 points in these games, and Ukraine does not win against Italy, then North Macedonia will take second place in the group. They definitely have something to fight for.
