Bregalnica vs Tikves Prediction: Can Bregalnica start winning?

Football in Macedonia is back, and in the first round after the break, last-placed Bregalnica Stip will welcome Tikves, who are in 7th place, but their form dropped right before the winter break. In front of Bregalnica is a difficult and almost impossible challenge to avoid relegation, while Tikves will be pleased if they finish in the middle of the table.

Bregalnica Stip

Form: WWWDW

Bregalnica are in the last place in the table with only 17 points. They have 4 wins, 5 draws, and 9 defeats after the first part of the season. Bregalnica are winless in the last 8 matches in the league, which only puts a lot of pressure before the start of the season. It is clear that Bregalnica faces a tough battle for survival in the elite, but everyone in the camp of the "blues" is extremely optimistic that Bregalnica will be able to fight the challenge because they have a quality team that knows how to compete with the best.

Tikves

Form: LDWDL

Tikves are in 7th place with 22 points, and they are only 4 points away from the relegation zone. They certainly feel and know that they could perform much better, especially in the last few rounds when their form dropped a lot. They have 6 wins, 4 draws, and 8 defeats so far and in the last 5 matches in the league, they have 2 wins and 3 defeats. They brought in some new players this winter which should help them to stay in the first league without any trouble, but we will see how they will adapt to the league and how the whole team will perform.

Expert Betting Tips

Bregalnica are a slight favorite in this match because they are performing well in front of their fans, and almost all the points they won in this stadium. I think that it will be a tough match in which both teams will try to avoid losing and the attack on all three points is in the second plan. In their last five matches, both teams have two wins each, and one match ended in a draw. As both teams will have the defense in mind first I expect a match with under 2.5 goals.
