Tikves vs Gostivar Prediction: Are Gostivar really in the title race?

In Kavadarci, Tikves welcomes Gostivar. This is an important match for both teams, especially if we know that a draw does not suit either the home team or the away team. Tikves announces a big battle, it is clear that they will go for victory. Gostivar have an excellent team in terms of individuals and names, but this team cannot show that they really want to fight for the title. I think that many questions will be clear after this match, and how strong Gostivar really are.

Tikves are set to finalize its new ownership structure in the coming weeks. The Municipality of Kavadarci, as the club's owner, will be assisted by an unnamed German investor who will pay one million euros by the end of March. The city's mayor has announced financial stabilization for Tikves. The team, which also played European football last summer after winning the Macedonian Cup, is fighting for survival. Currently, Tikves have 18 points and are in tenth position, Brera are in ninth with three more, and Voska and Besa, which are below the Kavadarci team, are on the same number of points. In the last round, Tikves were defeated by Rabotnicki in Skopje with a goal scored from a very suspicious penalty.

After a tough win in Strumica in the 22nd round, the most expensive team in the MFL, Gostivar, led by Brazilian coach Nobre, struggled to come to a draw in front of their home fans against Brera in the last round. The match ended 2-2 (1-1), and the team from Strumica were just short of taking the three points from "Boris Trajkovski" stadium in the match of the 23rd round of the First Football League in North Macedonia. This match raised the question, are Gostivar really a title contender, do they have what it takes for winning the league with all their expensive players? I think that this match against a team that is fighting for survival will answer many questions and many things will be clearer after this round.

Expert Betting Tips

Tikves are in 10th place with 18 points, but all three teams in the relegation zone have the same number of points, so the fight for survival will be even more tough than the fight for the trophy. Gostivar, on the other hand, are slowly losing pace in the race for the top, they have six points less than Shkendija. Tikves have only a win in the last five matches, and I don’t think that they can make a surprise against Gostivar today. I expect an away win, with more than three goals scored in this match.
