- Shkupi has the most scored goals (14) at home in First League
- Belasica has the most conceded goals (29) in First League
It's no vacation for neither Shkupi nor Belasica as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Shkupi form and stats
Home games in the First League have been a walk in the park for Shkupi so far, with 16 points won from 6 matches; 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. After failing to beat Skendija 79 here at Stadion Čair, Shkupi has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Shkupi.
Prior to that, an away loss at Akademija Pandev in the Macedonian Cup.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Shkupi as they are travelling to their away game against Pelister in the First League. That match is four days after this one.
The Shkupi manager Ü. Karan has got the team scoring with 14 from 6 home games in the league. Shkupi have conceded 6 in these home matches.
Belasica form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Belasica, who have the most conceded goals (29) in First League, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose). Belasica love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Makedonija.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Makedonija in just four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Belasica as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Belasica's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Belasica - Shkupi 0-2 earlier this season. Shkupi-Belasica H2H statistics last five meetings regardless of arena: Shkupi two wins, Belasica two wins, one draw. one of these five matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
