It's game one of two in the Europa Conference League as Shkupi host KF Ballkani. This is a Play-offs fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Shkupi form and stats
Shkupi was eliminated in the 2nd qualifying round last season in the Europa Conference League. Santa Clara was too strong.When playing at home in the First League, Shkupi have managed 1 win, 0 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 1 games.
A nice win for Shkupi last time playing, versus Makedonija. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Trapanovski and Cephas scoring for the victors.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Shkupi have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Shkupi at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
