Shkendija and Teteks play the big Derby of Tetovo, a game that marks the Round 7 and puts shadow on the other five encounter who are no less important for the table standings.
The Derby of Tetovo is clearly the match of the round as brings emotions, passion and tension. For both teams is a must win game. Shkendija has high ambitions this season, but is already 7 points behind leaders Vardar and can’t let another slip. On the other hand, Teteks is currently dead last and is facing relegation is continues with the bad results. Both sides will strive for the three points as Muhamed Huseini and Jorde Georgievski pointed out in our Derby duel article some day ago.
Holders Vardar is visiting Kratovo to face Sileks in a game that years ago was a big derby. Now Sileks is among the top favourites for relegation and everything but a win for the visitors will be a surprise. This game will be live broadcasted on the national television channel MTV.
Pelister hosts Renova and a game that promisses hard football and not many goals. Pelister this season struggles scoring, but their defense is the best part of the team.
Rabotnichki travels away in Shtip to face Bregalnica. Both teams play an attacking football and although Bregalnica so far has the worst attack in the league, this games promisses many goals. So far Rabotnichki has scored 14 goals which makes them the second best team when it comes to scoring, but their defense looks shaky as they are the worst team when it comes to defending, having let 14 goals.
Drita with its new coach Ane Andovski will try to use the home field advantage and beat Horizont Turnovo. The visitors, currently lie on the second position and continue to be the surprise of the season. Their deadly attacking duo with Filip Petkovski and Dejan Blazhevski so far has scored all of their 7 goals.
In Avtokomanda, Metalurg and the Napredok play game that is expected to be guided by the visitors. Although Metalurg is better than Napredok, the visitors can play hard football with not many goals, but can also give everything and strive for a win, while Metalurg always play calmly and patiently waits for its chance.
