National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Sileks or Bregalnica Stip that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Sileks form and stats
Sileks haven’t lost a league-game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Struga, 191 days ago.
Happy days for Sileks in their previous game, a Second League match away at Vardar that ended with a 2-1 victory.
Ahead of that match, Sileks won a home game hosting Kadino (7-0).The match schedule is unforgiving for Sileks as they have a new game in only three days, a Second League match thankfully also at home. Ohrid are visiting.
Bregalnica Stip form and stats
They also participated in Macedonian Cup last season. This ended in the 8th finals.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bregalnica Stip so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Bregalnica Stip has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Bregalnica lost away at Skendija 79 (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Skopje.A new game in only four days for Bregalnica, the First League home match versus Borec. Busy days.
The attacking power of Bregalnica when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Bregalnica have conceded 14 goals in these games.
