Round 13

Preview: Macedonian First League Round 13

Round 13 The 13th round is up-next in the First League with several interesting matches on the schedule among which the biggest is the Derby of Skopje.  For some teams, the number 13 is bound to bring bad luck.

The round will start on Friday when Ohrid hosts Teteks.  After the numerous meetings, cancellations, protests, empty promises etc., Ohrid will take on Teteks hoping to continue the positive results despite the bad atmosphere surrounding the club due to the lack of trust between the players and management.

On Saturday, at 11.00 CET, with one of the earliest kick-offs in history, 11 Oktomvri will ‘host’ Shkendija in Strumica since the Prilep based club was banned to play at home for four matches.  11 Oktomvri will be managed by Trajce Ilioski who takes over from the departing Marjan Sekulovski.

The remaining four matches will start two hours later with the marquee matchup occurring at Boris Trajkovski Stadium in Madzari where the Derby of Skopje between rivals Rabotnicki and Vardar will take place with Maltese referees officiating the match.

In the other games, Renova will be looking to get past Sileks in what should be a close game, Napredok will hope to slow down Bregalnica at home, while Metalurg visits Horzont Turnovo expecting three points against the club that is second from bottom on the table.
