Makedonija form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the First League ended in defeat. Last season Makedonija had these away match statistics: Played 16; won 7, drew 5 and lost 4.

The supporters enjoyed Makedonija's previous game versus Skopje (placed 10th), a First League 5-1 win played at home. As mentioned above, Makedonija was the only team on the pitch versus Skopje in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Shkupi wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

It's early days yet, but Makedonija has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
