Struga vs Rabotnicki Prediction: The champion vs the leader

The derby of the round is the match between Struga TL and Rabotnicki, a duel between the champion and the leader. Will the champion finally be able to inflict the first defeat on Rabotnicki this season? It remains to be seen. Both teams are in great form, and we can certainly expect a spectacle today in Struga.

Struga TL аre the team that won seven points in the last three rounds in difficult away matches and now are only 3 points away from Rabotnicki. However, they haven’t won in front of their fans in the last 3 matches, and this will be a very difficult challenge and opponent to end that streak. Struga are in 5th place with 22 points, 6 wins, 4 draws, and 3 defeats. At home, they aren't so good this season with 3 wins, a draw, and 2 defeats. In the previous round, they won against Besa, proving that they are in great form during this period.

A new big challenge awaits Rabotnicki, a visit to Struga to face the champion. They have an excellent team and deserve respect, but the duel against Struga will demand 100% of every player. It will be a difficult match and it will surely be decided by nuances. Rabotnicki are the only undefeated team in the league, they play amazing defense and are in 1st place with 6 wins, 7 draws, 14 goals scored, and only 5 conceded. In the last 3 matches, they drew against Vardar, Sileks, and Shkendija.

It is clear that this will be a difficult match, but also an extra important one, both for Struga TL and for Rabotnicki. In the last 5 matches Struga have 3 wins and Rabotnicki only one, but today they are more equal by quality than before. I can see them both scoring in this match but I can’t pick a favorite for all 3 points, and I expect another draw.
