This will be their 68th meeting in history. Shkendija have a slightly better record with 28 wins, Vardar has 23, and 16 matches ended without a winner. But Vardar has Goce Sedloski on the bench who has shown that he knows how to beat Shkendija, and that at a time when Tetovo had a mega team. According to the table, the guests from Tetovo should be big favorites to win, because they are fighting for the title, and Vardar are in the dangerous zone for relegation, but we should not forget the fact that the most trophy-winning club in Macedonia brought several new players in the winter transfer window and they should be reinforcements. It’s unclear how will Vardar look with the new players, but I believe that they can remain undefeated in this derby, and I think that both teams will score a goal in a match that should offer us excitement.
