This is the First League season opener for these teams, who are finally competing for points again. Who will get that important first win?
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Macedonian Cup match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Akademija Pandev, was also a home game here at Cair Stadium. The away team is better rested.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
