Shkupi form and stats
This stadium, Stadion Čair, has been a fortress for Shkupi in the First League so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 7-0-0. After failing to beat Makedonija here at Stadion Čair, Shkupi has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with seven wins in a row.
Shkupi's last game was hosting Pelister (placed 12th) and winning 5-0. As mentioned above, Shkupi "killed" Pelister in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Ahead of that match, Shkupi won a home game hosting Bregalnica Stip (5-0).The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Shkupi's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played eight games, won five matches, drawn two and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Shkupi as they are travelling to their away game against Makedonija in the Macedonian Cup. That match is three days after this one.
With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Shkupi is on fire here. A stunning 23 from 7 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Shkupi have only let in 2 goals at home.
Struga form and stats
Struga have only collected 7 points from their away games in the First League, after 1-4-2 (7 played).
The Struga goalkeeper Davor Taleski is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 292 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Struga won their last game, 1-0 versus Rabotnicki played at home.
Prior to that result Struga won their away game at Pelister. The scoreline was 1-0.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Struga playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
The schedule is very tough for Struga now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Macedonian Cup game at Skendija 79 is waiting in only three days.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Struga are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 5 times in 7 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
