Brera Strumica vs Shkendija Prediction: Both teams need a win

After that disaster in Kratovo against Sileks in the previous round, Brera will welcome Shkendija, who in the last round at home barely got a point against the great Rabotnicki. This will be a match in which both teams must not lose, especially Shkendija. The match will be played on Blagoj Istatov Stadium in Strumica at 21:00, and full stands are expected.

The whole team is aware of the importance of the match. Everyone announces a maximum on the field and a correction of the impression from Kratovo. Igor Yankulov expects support from the stands but is convinced that their excellent individuals will stand out now when it’s most important. Brera are usually playing well at home, but in the last round, it looked like they didn’t have the strength to play 90 minutes. It’s interesting to see how they will react after such a defeat in the last round.

Shkendija are the main favorite for winning the trophy this season, and they can be pleased with the way they started the season. They won in the first round against newcomer to the league Besa 3:1 as visitors and played a draw at home against unpleasant Rabotnicki in the last round. In this match, they will certainly go for all 3 points, but it will be challenging to get all 3 points in Strumica.

In their last 5 matches, Shkendija won twice, and three matches ended in a draw. Last season they played a goalless draw in this stadium, but this season I expect something very different. Shkendija are very strong, but they showed weaknesses in the defense in the last match, so I think that we will have a match with many goals and both teams will score at least a goal each.
