Vardar form and stats

Only one away game in the First League so far for Vardar and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 0 victories, 0 draws and 0 losses from 0 travels.

Vardar might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sileks proved too strong as Vardar slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Nacionalna Arena Filip II Makedonski. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Akademija Pandev at their stadium, the result 1-0.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Sileks was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Vardar have the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Rabotnicki victories, two draws and five Vardar wins. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, nine matches with two goals or less.
