Vardar vs Shkendija Prediction: This was a title derby once!

Vardar, after a break of several years, this weekend plays the first big derby with the former competitor for the title, Shkendija. Although the "red and black" did not start the season as they wished and are nailed at the bottom of the table, there is no doubt that the duel against Tetovcani will attract a lot of attention among Vardar fans. From the ranks of Vardar, they believe that a full stadium will be a plus motivation for the football players, and let it be a kind of prelude to another big celebration. The duel between the great rivals is played on Sunday from 15:00.

Vardar are going through a difficult period in the MFL. The former champions can't get into a rhythm and are still in the last place in the table, and on Sunday another tough duel and derby with Shkendija awaits them. Returning to the Vardar bench, Aleksandar Vasoski announced at the press conference a great fight and maximum engagement of his players. Vardar are last placed team in the league with 5 points and only one win so far.

Shkendija are in the 1st place in the table, but they are not as confident and dominant as they would like to be. They have a great team, but recently they lost points in matches in which they should have won, they lost against Sileks and played a draw against Gostivar. They have 6 wins, 2 draws, and a defeat in 9 matches played.

The match Vardar - Shkendija is a big derby in Macedonian football. A few years ago, the two teams fought for the trophy, but now, unfortunately, Vardar are last in the table and of course this duel will be very difficult for them. Vardar at home have a huge support and big fan base and it will be their motivation and inspiration in this duel. Although Shkendija are favorite and better team, I think it’s better to bet on goals on this match as both teams play offensive football.
