Struga are a slight favorite in this match, but it will be very difficult against Shkendija. Struga played last week and won against Vardar 4:0 and now are in 3rd position with 8 wins and 4 defeats. At home they have 5 wins and a defeat with a goal difference of 13:3. The club recently signed new deals with the most important players and showed that the ambitions of this team are high, the same as last season. Of course, they want to defend the title, but most important for them is to qualify for a European competition next season.

Shkendija are winless in the last 3 matches in all competitions. They played a draw in the last two league matches against Brera and Voska and were surprisingly knocked out of the National Cup by Rabotnicki. The pressure is high, especially on the manager Nuhiu, and there are rumors that some players are having issues with him. This match is very important for Shkendija and if they don’t win in this hot stadium, we can expect changes in this team.

Expert Betting Tips

The atmosphere in Shkendija is not good, they started the season well, but recently they struggle. They were “under fire” after the defeat in the Cup which was totally unexpected. Struga are more stable and confident at the moment, and in this match at home they are slight favorites. In their matches we rarely see many goals and in most of the matches only one team scores. I believe that it will be same in this match and we will see under 2.5 goals.
