With their 11 point advantage in the league table, Veles fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Chertanovo.
It's no vacation for neither Veles nor Chertanovo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Veles form and stats
Veles have played 7 FNL games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).
The Veles crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Olimpiyets here at Stadion Avangard in a FNL match. Heartbreak before that as Veles lost 0-2 at Yenisey's place.
