Brera Strumica vs Vardar Prediction: Great match at the start of the new MFL season

Another season begins in the First Macedonian Football League. This season will be the 32nd for Macedonian football, and the first was back in 1992. In the new season, the role of defending champion will have Struga Trim Lum. Voska Sport, Gostivar and Vardar are newcomers to the league, having qualified from the Second League. Pobeda and Skopje left the elite club. The first league this season will have 12 teams, and apart from the above there are also the teams of Rabotnicki, Macedonia Gjorce Petrov, Sileks, Tikvesh, Brera, Bregalnica, Shkupi and Shkendija. Vardar holds the record of the club with the most trophies, having won 11 titles in the domestic championship and in the first round will travel to Strumica to face rebranded team Brera.

Brera Strumica

Form: WDDDD

The players of Brera Strumica will have their debut after the rebranding in the PMFL against the most trophy-winning Vardar. Last season they played under the name Akademija Pandev, but now they got new investors in the club and they are part of a worldwide football academy for young players Brera. The "Red-Blacks" returned to the elite after two seasons, and in Strumica, they are happy that a traditional Macedonian club will be their first rival. Brera announced that it will be focused on the youth categories, but the first team will not be neglected either. The club's ambitions are high and it remains to be demonstrated on the field.

Vardar

Form: LWWDD

This season is specific due to the fact that Vardar, the most trophy-winning team, returned to the elite. After two seasons spent in the second league club, the undisputed Macedonian champion will again play in the PMFL. Although the club was sinking into problems, mostly financial, the fans were the main reason why this club survived and got back into the best league. The "Red and Blacks" enter the upcoming first league challenges with six new players, and sports director Aleksandar Bajevski announced that the team will probably be strengthened with three more new players. Vardar announced that it will play its home matches in the MFL at the "Todor Proeski" arena, but in the coming period, it will have to look for an alternative because the lawn of the largest stadium is in terrible condition and must be renovated.

Expert Betting Tips

We single out the duel between Brera and Vardar as a derby on the circuit. The team from Strumica with the new sponsor and the renaming of the team and how they have high ambitions in the new season. Vardar, who returned from the Second League, is more than motivated to start the new season with a triumph in Strumica. Both teams will try to start the season in a positive way and to avoid defeat, I expect very careful play from both sides but I thing that both teams will score at least once.
