Struga vs Gostivar Prediction: Struga are under huge pressure

The football championship in Macedonia offers a lot of excitement. Like never before three competitors are completely equal in the battle for the title and that with only three rounds to the end of the MFL Championship. Shkendija, Struga, and Shkupi are tied at the top with 58 points each, and with three rounds to go it is not even possible to guess who could lift the trophy. In the 31st round Struga will welcome Gostivar in a match they must win.

Struga

Form: LLWDL

The current champion Struga Trim Ljum decided three rounds before the end of the MFL to end cooperation with the current coach Shpetim Duro. By mutual agreement, the contract between the strategist and the club was terminated, and his replacement was announced immediately. Struga will entrust the bench to Meriton Gega, who will be the first coach of the team at least until the end of the season. We are talking about a man who has been working in Struga for several years as an assistant in the professional staff, knows football players and opportunities very well, and was one of the main collaborators of Duro. Until the end of the season, Struga Trim Ljum will have matches with Gostivar, Shkendija, and Shkupi. Currently, this team has 2 defeats in a row and they have to find a way to win this match at home.

Gostivar

Form: WLDWD

Gostivar defeated Shkupi with a score of 2-0 in the match of the 30th round of the First Macedonian Football League. The hosts objectively had more of the game and deservedly took the three points against their capital rivals in the end. Gostivar recorded its ninth triumph and climbed to sixth place with a total of 40 points. They are 8 points above the relegation zone, so they can play these last rounds without much pressure.

Expert Betting Tips

The pressure is on Struga, they must win if they want to remain in the title race. Gostivar are the easiest opponent they will have as they will face Shkupi and Shkendija in the next rounds. In the last 2 matches, Struga lost with the same result 3:2 by Tikves and Sileks. In this match under the new manager, I expect a little more defensive approach, but I believe that Struga will win with several goals difference in the end.
