Makedonija form and stats

Makedonija have played 15 First League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 8-2-5 (wins-draws-losses).

2-2 away at Rabotnicki before that.

Heartbreak for Makedonija in their last match as Struga's M. Altiparmakovski scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Makedonija as they are travelling to their away game against Shkupi in the First League. That match is four days after this one.

The Makedonija fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 15 matches. 18 goals have been conceded.

Pelister form and stats

There's been little loot from Pelister's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 15 away games in the First League. Pelister only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Pelister have lost on their last two travels.

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Struga's place.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Akademija Pandev in just four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Pelister as they have only managed to score 12 times from 15 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 21 goals have been conceded by Pelister in these games.
