Rabotnicki vs Vardar Prediction: Who is the ruler of Skopje?

Yes, this is that old Skopje classic, a neighborhood derby that is worth coming and watching. Otherwise, on Wednesday, after the end of the matches of the 22nd round, the pairings in the third “Berger” round of this season will be known, so then we will see if Vardar and Rabotnicki will play and how many matches as hosts in this period. Both teams are coming after several positive results in this derby, and both have high ambitions, especially Rabotnicki. The Skopje rivals will not play at the "Todor Proeski" Arena, because the turf will be reserved for the national team and the match against Wales. The new field has already been found, Rabotnicki have scheduled the match at the "Petar Miloshevski" training center at the FFM as the host.

Rabotnicki

Form: DWLDD

Rabotnicki are still dreaming of the title. They are in third place with 41 points, five points behind Shkendija. In the last round they drew against another title contender Gostivar 0:0, and it only confirmed that these teams are struggling in the attack in the second part of the season. Since the beginning of the second part of the season, Rabotnicki scored only a goal in the victory against Voska Sport. Despite this fact, their manager was pleased with the performances against Gostivar in the previous round, he said that it’s good as long as they create many chances and the goals will follow in the next matches, hopefully in the derby against Vardar.

Vardar

Form: DWWLW

Vardar and Besa drew 0-0 in the 21st round of the First Macedonian Football League. The home team were the favorite, they were also better on the field, but they failed to crown it with a goal, which would have meant three points. Besa came to defend and succeeded in their intention, and after the draw against the favorite Gostivar, they managed to get another significant point in the fight for survival. Unlike them, Vardar wanted to win, dominated the field, had their chances, but the visitors' goalkeeper, Zahov, was an insurmountable obstacle. With this draw Vardar are in 10th place with 17 points, and their fight for avoiding relegation is getting more and more interesting.

These two clubs started playing each other in the early 50s of the last century, this should be their 98th duel. This also includes those in the First and Second Leagues of the former SFRY, the Cup of the former country and others. Rabotnicki have 34 wins, 25 times without a winner and Vardar have won 38 meetings. In this match, both teams have their calculations, and I think that it will be a tough derby with few goals and most likely a draw in the end, since both teams are struggling in the attack, and their matches are always with little goals.
