Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Telekom Arena clash with Pobeda, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the First League table.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Vardar form and stats

Vardar, who have the fewest conceded goals (22) in First League, have played 17 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 9-6-2 (wins-draws-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for Vardar.

The fans are hoping that Vardar will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the First League game against Sileks. In the match before that, Vardar hosted Rabotnicki and drew the game 1-1.

Vardar are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 21 goals in 17 matches. Vardar are not conceding a lot of goals here at Telekom Arena, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 17 matches.

Pobeda form and stats

Pobeda, who have the fewest points (9) away in First League, have only collected 9 points from their away games after 2-3-12 (17 played). With the Pobeda losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Pobeda are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a First League home defeat versus Skendija 79 with 1-4 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Akademija Pandev wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Pobeda as they have only managed to score 12 times from 17 away games. For Pobeda, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Pobeda - Vardar 0-0. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 6 wins for Vardar, 1 draw and 3 wins for Pobeda. Over 2,5 goals: 6 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.
