Rabotnicki vs Shkupi Prediction: Small derby in Skopje

In the 8th round of the MFL, we will see an interesting match between two teams from Skopje, Rabotnicki and Shkupi. Both teams have high ambitions this season, Shupi of course aiming for the top, while Rabotnicki are also looking at the top, but a top 3 finish would be perfect. Both teams play well in the league and it will certainly be an entertaining duel.

At the "Todor Proevski" arena, the undefeated Rabotnicki will try to continue the streak and win points again in the duel with Shkupi. The former champion of Macedonia, who recorded excellent results this season, left Bitola with only one point won (0-0) in the last round against Pelister. They are in 3rd place with 13 points, 3 wins and 4 draws. At home, they are the best team in the league with 3 wins and a draw, 7 goals scored and 2 conceded.

Shkupi continues with variable performances in the new season in the First Macedonian Football League, after drawing in front of their audience against Besa (1-1) at the very end. Shkupi, confident after the big victory away against the champion, started the match with Besa with one single goal - to continue the positive streak and join the best in the table. But that didn't happen, because after the lead they relaxed and allowed the newcomer to collect a big point from this visit. Now they will have a much more difficult challenge to win points against Rabotnicki away. Shkupi are in 6th place with 9 points. 

In their last 5 matches in all competitions, Shkupi have 4 points and Rabotnicki one. But this season many things are changed, especially on the home side and Shkupi will have to put in their best performances if they want to win points in one of the most difficult away stadiums. Even though recently both teams are struggling with scoring goals, in this match I expect both of them to score and I can see Rabotnicki taking all 3 points in this encounter.
