After the break because of the national team obligations in the qualifications tournament for EURO08, the Macedonian football championship is back with some exciting games in hand. Rabotnicki and Vardar already played the big derby and both teams can be happy with the share of spoils, but the fans can't be as the match ended in a scoreless draw.

In Bitola there will be another derby where the hosts Pelister would like to revenge to Milano for the first game' defeat of 3-0 in Kumanovo. The captain of Pelister Dimov then got a red card in the first minute and it wasn't hard for Milano to destroy Pelister. But, now Pelister have been reinforced in the defence with the signing of the experienced Macedonian player Goran Stavrevski (33). This will surely be an exciting clash, considering Rabotnicki only got one point and Milano with a victory would be only 4 points away to the top place.

Renova would definitely like to end the bad streak of 2 consecutive losses after Sokoli has been placed as a manager of the team. However, they are hosting Pobeda, a team that has finally left the crisis and are now in a two consecutive games victory streak with 4 goals scored on each match.  It is widely known that it is always hard for visiting teams to play on Renova's pitch and probably this would be example in this game also. This clash should be another one which should attract attention.

Cementarnica will be looking to win 3 points in order to escape from the last place, but they will have one tough nut as a visiting team. Makedonija Gjorche Petrov will be 'traveling' to Kisela Voda. Both teams certainly haven't got the place they liked in the first part of the season, with Cementarnica stuck on last place , and Makedonija far from the position they were in last season. This could be a chance for both teams to start building a good campaign, but also a very interesting match.

In Kicevo, Napredok will be looking forward to continue the good form from the last matches having won 8 points out of possible 12. As visitors, they have the 'trouble-making' 'high-scoring' Bashkimi. After the last happenings regarding Bashkimi, in that team there must certainly be some lowering in the atmosphere, but if Milano's owner really is going to buy this team also, than Bashkimi might hope for a brighter future. However, they will have a tough time now when they are visiting solid Napredok.

And, in Kratovo Sileks will be hosting Shkendija. The hosts are really playing with ups and downs currently, while the visitors are looking like they are getting out of the crisis, when they won against Pelister in the last round, one way or another. If the weather conditions allow, we might see another good game with a strong will for winning from both sides.
