Shkupi vs Makedonija GP Prediction: Shkupi must win against the city rival

Less usual for a Saturday, but today in the First Macedonian Football League, as many as three matches will be played. The program includes the matches from the 27th round. Points are a priority for all teams, both those fighting for the trophy and those chasing survival. This applies first of all to the match that will be played at Cair, where Makedonija GP are visiting the second-placed Shkupi. The team from Gjorce have two wins and one draw in the last three rounds, and Shkupi enters this match after a shocking defeat in the previous round against Bregalnica.

Shkupi suffered a heavy defeat in the last round when they lost away to Bregalnica, the team from Cair apologized to the fans for that defeat, but a reaction on the field is also needed. Shkupi needs a win in order to stay in an even race with the leader Struga, which also lost the previous round, but they are in the negative by three points, so they have no right to lose today. Shkupi showed a lackluster performance in Shtip and were outplayed by Bregalnica, who are fighting for survival in the best league. Today’s opponent is in a similar situation, and this will be another difficult challenge for the title contender.

Makedonija GP left behind the bad results and with the arrival of Boban Grncharov at the bench are in a mini-series of three rounds without defeat in the First Macedonian Football League. In the last round, they played a draw against another title contender Shkendija and it will boost their confidence before this match. They are in 11th place with 25 points, with 3 points less than Voska and Rabotnicki who are above the relegation zone.

These teams are old and city rivals and it will be a tense match in a very hot stadium in Cair. The hosts must win as they are under pressure to win the title while Makedonija GP made some changes in the board and coaching staff lately and brought results. In their last 5 matches, Shkupi won 3 times and two matches ended in a draw. In this match I expect Shkupi to win in front of their fans and remain in the race for the title.
