Sileks vs Struga Prediction: Can Sileks withstand the pressure?

Ilcho Gjorgioski will make his debut as the coach of Struga Trim Lum, today in a derby match in Kratovo against Sileks. After the defeat against Vardar, Struga decided to change the manager, appointing experienced Ilcho Gjorgioski, who will debut on the bench of the current champion today. Sileks on the other hand are under pressure to keep up with the best teams in the league, and the competition this season is extraordinary.

Sileks

Form: LLDLL

Sileks were on the top of the table after the first part of the season, and it seems that the pressure is bigger on the top, and they quickly after the start of the second part of the season were moved from there. Sileks still don’t have a win in the second part of the season, they drew against Tikves at home, lost in the derby against Shkendija in the last round, and were eliminated in the Cup against Vardar. They are in fourth place with 38 points, already five points behind Shkendija, and it will be hard for them to repeat the games and performances from the first part of the season. Their goal is to finish in the top three, and for that they will have to get a positive result against the placed team.

Struga

Form: WLLLL

Champion Struga are the first team that changed manager in the new year. Ilcho Gjorgievski took the place of Kjatip Osmani and will debut on the bench of the new team today against Sileks. In anticipation of the match against the autumn champion, goalkeeper Vedran Kjosevski gave his opinion. Aware that they have a very difficult match ahead of them, he says that the team must make the most of its chances if it wants a positive result. Before this match, Gjorgievski said: "It is a pleasure to lead this club. I came to a championship environment, the club has high ambitions every season. I believe in this project and I think we can be successful. I think that Struga have perhaps the highest quality team, but we have to work on compactness and I expect all players to give their maximum." Struga are in fifth place with 32 points, and have two defeats in a row in the league against Gostivar and Vardar.

Expert Betting Tips

It’s hard to predict how Struga will look now under the new manager, but I expect more of them in the attack. They have an offensive philosophy and their main stars are in the attack. Sileks showed a lot of weaknesses in the defensive line, but they can score against every team in the league, which we saw in the last round against Shkendija. I expect an interesting derby, with goals from both teams, and I think that Sruga are closer to winning with their new manager.
