An important duel in the bottom section of the First League, with both Rudar and Mladost experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 7th and the visitors in 8th place.
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.
