Vardar vs Shkupi Prediction: Vardar with 4th manager this season

The city derby match between Vardar and Shkupi attracts the most attention from the six matches of the 14th round of the First Macedonian Football League. Both teams are far from the ambitions and glory of the past, but regardless of the ranking, the matches of these two teams always attract a lot of attention.

After the match in Bitola and the painful defeat by Pelister, Vardar will play another big derby this weekend and will welcome Shkupi on their home field. Vardar are far from the desired form, they have not won for seven rounds in the MFL. We have reached the 14th round of the season, and Vardar will try to save the season with a fourth coach. Goce Sedloski returns to the helm after seven years, and fate wanted his second debut on the bench of the red and black team to be against his former club Shkupi. Vardar are in desperate form and in the last place in the table with 8 points.

Shkupi have championship ambitions and are in the sixth position with as many as nine points behind the leader Rabotnicki. Chaircani lost the last two matches in the league against Voska and Gostivar, and have 16 points, 4 wins, 4 draws, and 5 defeats. In the away matches, they have a win, a draw, and 4 defeats, and if they don’t improve their performances in away matches, they can’t expect to fight for the title.

Shkupi are undefeated in the last six matches against Vardar, and in the last five duels, Shkupi won five times with an impressive goal difference of 11-0. Now the situation is different, both teams are in crisis and a point will be enough to calm the tension on both sides of Skopje, but a win against the big rival could be a turning point for each of them.
