Round 4

Preview: Macedonian First League – Round 4

Round 4The First League continues with several interesting matches from Round 4 that will be played on both Saturday and Sunday.

Leaders Metalurg will host Rabotnicki in the most compelling game of the round.  However, the Reds might be shell shocked after the 6:0 beating that they suffered away to Lazio on Thursday during the Europa League qualifications.  Can Rabotnicki forget Rome and start over or will Metalurg pile more misery on Rabotnicki and maintain their perfect start to the season?

Vardar also has a tough match this weekend against the veteran squad of Renova.  Vardar will most likely be without injured striker Filip Ivanovski so they will need someone to step up in order to break down the Renova defense.  Renova is expected to play defensive and will try to stop Vardar who has won all three league games this season with the score of 1:0.

In the other games, Bregalnica will be looking for their first win of the season against newly promoted side Ohrid at home while the defending champions Shkendija is hosting the tricky team of Napredok.  Newcomers 11 Oktomvri will look for their first goal and also first point in this early season as they play away to Horizont Turnovo while an even match is expected in Tetovo between Teteks and Sileks.
