Sileks vs Shkupi Prediction: Derby at the top of the table

Sileks are the team that can be called "the most pleasant surprise" this season. Kratovci keep the fourth position in the table and will fight for a possible exit in next year's Eurocups. On Sunday, they will welcome Shkupi and this match can be freely called a "derby match" in the 30th round of the MFL. The current champion of Macedonia will arrive in Kratovo highly motivated after the convincing 3-0 victory over Bregalnica in the last round.

Sileks managed to remain undefeated at the visit of Shkendija in Tetovo in the last round. Despite the host's attacks, especially in the second half, Sileks knew what they wanted in this match and deservedly got it. The final 0:0 is a reflection of the poor realization of the hosts, that is, the good defense of the guests, as well as the obviously good approach of Sileks in the game during all ninety minutes. Now against Shkupi even though this team is playing at home, it is expected that they will play more carefully and defensively. They are secure in 4th place with 7 points more than 5th placed Bregalnica. At home, Sileks have a score of 6 wins, 3 draws, and 4 defeats.

After several bad results in this part of the season, Shkupi drastically reduced the chances of defending the title, but the champions have no intention of giving up and announce that they will still attack for the MFL trophy. Shkupi expressed all their anger last season at their Chair stadium against Bregalnica. A convincing triumph of 3:0, Adetunji twice, and Alvarez scored a goal from a distance. Shkupi played after a long time with high quality and efficiency. Bregalnica was powerless in this match. The manager Cihan Arselan said before facing the difficult Silex that they have a tough match ahead of them, but he believes that his team will win the three points.

Shkupi must win in this match if they want to stay in the title race or even to keep up with Shkendija for the 2nd place. Sileks is everything but an easy opponent. Their defensive style of playing has caused trouble even to stronger and more offensive teams than Shkupi. However, I believe that this match will produce some goals and that Shkupi will take all 3 points at the end.
