 Today at 16.30 CET, the play-offs for second league will take place. 3 matches are scheduled. Tomorrow at 16.30 CET the two matches for filling the last 2 places from first league are on the schedule. In Kavadarci, the 14th placed team from second league FK Lokomotiva from Skopje will play against the first-placed team from the 3rd league East region - FK Osogovo from Kocani. Osogovo played a good season in the East region and managed to secure the first place 2 rounds before the official end of the competition. Lokomotiva were struggling whole season and right before the end managed to take the last train and finished 14th in the second league. Whether they will be the team that will keep the place in the league or will be replaced by Osogovo? On Mladost stadium in Strumica, FK Lepenec from Bardovci will meet FK Novaci. Or, in other words, the winner from the north region will play against the winner from the south-east region. Lepenec fought a hard battle till the last round and managed to take the 1st place with only a point above the second placed Shkendija Aracinovo. In the last of the 3 matches for second league, in Prilep at the Goce Delcev Stadium, FK Kozuf Geveglija will play against FK Ljuboten Tetovo. Kozuf were first on the table in the south region with advantage of 10 points over second-placed Prevaled and with no lost match.

Tomorrow are the 2 matches that will tell us the 2 teams that stay/promote in League 1. In Bitola, Bashkimi will face Miravci. Bashkimi have ended the season in league 1 on 10th place, but had an excellent third part of the season and deserved to catch at least a play-out spot. They can be considered as favorites in this match, but the other team is certainly no push-over. For a long time in League 2 Miravci were on the top of the table with a long period being first or second which would have meant a direct promotion. However, they have fallen on the third spot where they couldnt have been challenged by any other team and are deservedly in the play-off match. The second match is certainly very interesting and very attractive match. On one side, we have a team that has never dropped to second league and on the other a team that ambitions' are nothing else than first league. Sileks against Belasica on Gradski Stadium in Skopje. Sileks were whole season around the 9th place and this will be their third consecutive time they play in a play-out match. They were better than their opponents in the last 2 seasons, but this time it will certainly be a tough match, at least. After Belasica's slow start, things have finally worked out for them and they were quick to find their winning ways and caught step with the top teams from second league. At the end, they've managed to catch the 4th place and now have chance to play in frist league again.
