Sileks vs Vardar Prediction: Sileks are now the favorite against Vardar

The last round of the autumn part of the championship in the First Macedonian Football League, probably in the season that brings the greatest balance of teams in the battle for the championship title but also for survival throughout the last decade of Macedonian football. And, in Kratovo, a duel in the battle for the title, and battle for survival. Sileks welcomes Vardar to confirm its excellent autumn form, while Vardar desperately needs points to get away from the dangerous zone.

Form: DWWWW

The teams of Gostivar and Sileks shared the spoils in the derby of the previous round in the First Macedonian Football League, in the only match that ended goalless in the 17th round of the domestic championship. The players of both teams played a below-average first half. Now both teams have a chance to finish the first part of the season in 1st place, which is very uncommon for them. Strange but Sileks will be the favorite in the match against Vardar, but this team is undefeated in the last 12 matches in all competitions and is sitting in 2nd place with 34 points, two less than Shkendija.

Vardar and Tikves played a draw (1-1) in the relegation derby at the Todor Proeski Arena. In front of empty stands, the 17th-round match offered a goal in both halves and a split of the points. Vardar are now in 10th place with 13 points, and every point is of enormous importance for them. This winter this team will have a complete reconstruction, new board, staff, and players, so they need to keep up with other teams in the lower part of the table and in the second part of the season to try to move up the table. In the last five matches in the league, Vardar have a win, two draws, and two defeats.

This will be their 77th duel, and throughout history, Vardar have been the one who has won most often, 38 times, or every second match. Sileks managed to triumph in 19 meetings and the same number of them ended without a winner. In the last six, the team from Kratovo have triumphed twice, Vardar once, and twice it was a draw. That is the past, of course, the most important thing is the present. And it says that if Sileks wins, they have a chance to be the autumn champion, but they must hope that Shkendija will not win. According to the positions in the table, Sileks are probably the favorite, but who in Macedonia can be a sure and big favorite if they have the most trophy-winning and biggest club against them? I think that it will be a very tight encounter, Vardar will try to defend and score from the counter-attacks and I expect both teams to score at least a goal in the match.
