Rabotnicki

Rabotnicki will try to get as close to the top of the table as possible, maybe even try to finish in a place that leads to European qualifications next season. They have big ambitions for the future, and now they want to introduce themselves as one of the most serious teams in the league. Playing against the champion is always a big motivation for a good performance and result. Rabotnicki are in 6th place with 23 points, 7 wins, 2 draws, and 9 defeats. 

Struga

Form: WLDLW

The current Macedonian champion, Struga, intensively were preparing for the rest of the season in the First Football League, which officially starts this weekend. The team of Shpetim Duro had a successful period and great friendly matches in Antalya. They are in 1st place but have only a point more than Shkupi and 4 more than Shkendija. The title race will be very interesting until the very end of the season, and Struga will have to play at their best level in this match to remain in first place.

Expert Betting Tips

Rabotnicki were very active during the winter transfer period, they brought in some players that should improve the team mostly in the defensive line. Traditionally Struga are better team when these teams are playing, in the last five encounters Struga won four times, and one match ended in a draw. In this match, I expect Rabotnicki to be a tough challenge for Struga, interesting football and a match with many goals, as these teams are playing offensive football.
