The visiting Pelister side should be favourites in this visit to Drita, as the away team holds a 5 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.
Drita and Pelister should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Drita form and stats
Drita, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) at home in Second League, have collected 9 points from their Second League home games so far after 3-0-2. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Drita with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Skopje game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Drita manager might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Drita lost their last game at Korab Debar (placed 8th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Gostivar with the scoreline 0-1.
The Drita fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Drita are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadion Bogovinje in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 5 matches.
Pelister form and stats
As the visiting team in Second League matches, Pelister, who have the most scored goals (23) in Second League, have produced an overall stat of 2-1-2 so far.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Second League home defeat versus Skopje with 2-3 on the scoreboard. It was a Macedonian Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Rabotnicki wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.
Pelister have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 11 goals from 5 away matches. In the opposite end, Pelister have conceded 8 goals in their away games.
