AKADEMIJA PANDEV

After a long six months period without any victory in the championship, Akademija Pandev slowly but safely began to look like the start of the season when it shone completely. The team from Strumica, in this meeting comes after victory over Pelister as a guest, with 3-1, also disregarding Milovanovic, Cheshmedjiev and Baldovaliev goals.

For Akademija Pandev, triumphing Pelister last weekend, was the second in the series, as Pobeda, with a minimum score of 1-0, was defeated four days ago.

The tomorrow’s Akademija Pandevfight against Rabotnicki will be a real test for the strengths of the Yugoslav coach Trencovski, given that the last two games he held against the placement and poor form of teams such as Pobeda and Pelister.

With the last two victories, Akademija Pandev has turned the hopes for a possible European exit in their debut season in the first league. The team from Strumica currently has 42 points and is in fifth place, and tomorrow will play with Rabotnick, which is in fourth place and only three points away. Third-order silly is four points more.

The biggest shortage in the next game at Akademija Pandev will no doubt be the most formidable striker and player in the game, deputy captain Zoran Baldovaliev. The latter, in the match against Pelister last week, collected the fifth yellow card for this season and could not play tomorrow.

Baldovaliev, who will miss tomorrow, is in excellent shape at the moment, with six goals scored in the last seven championship matches. He is also the third best scorer in the league this year, with 14 goals scored in 27 appearances.

Akademija Pandev’s leftist defender Aleksandar Varelovski is still defective and is not expected to play even at tomorrow’s meeting.

Pos Baldovaliev and Varelovski, Akademija Pandev will be able to play all players tomorrow, and in case of yellow card punishment, the next meeting will not be able to play Sashko Pandev, Gorgi Stoilov, Konstantin Cheshmedjiev, Kristijan Ivanov and Gulio grifoni.

With nine goals scored by the penalty so far, six of which have been executed by Zoran Baldovaliev, Akademija Pandev is the second most-punished team in Macedonia. Before them is only the Shkendija of Tetova, with ten executed penalties and scored in the goal.

RABOTNIČKI

Rabotnički is another very good team in Macedonia. Johnny Jovanovski’s team in tomorrow’s challenge against Akademija Pandev comes after winning against Pobeda last weekend, where after a real goleade, the Spaniards triumphed with 4-2. In this meeting, for the first six minutes, the Romans scored through Angelov and Kirovsk, while in the second half when Pobeda tried to approach, Kire Markoski scored two goals from the counter-strike on the sidelines.

With last Sunday’s victory against Pobeda and Sileks’ defeat by Shkendija, Rabotnički approached third place in only one point. For a time, Sileks had more than 10 points ahead of the Romanticists, but with Djordjevic coming to the top of this team, the team is recording good and positive appearances, and is on the verge of another European appearance.

Rabotnički currently has 45 points and is in fourth place, who in the event of the Shkendija of the Shkendija in the Macedonian Cup final against Pelister, can send to the Europa League eliminators this summer.

On Sunday against Pobeda, Rabotnički left behind the small crunch of results, having failed to win at the last two matches, where he equalized with 1-1 and lost to the new champion, the 3- 0.

In the last five matches as a guest, Rabotnički has a completely mobile form, with two wins and three defeats. Last match on a trip, Rabotnički has five of the first matches, with four in March against Skopje, 1-1.

In 16 trips so far, Rabotnički is one of the weakest guest teams in Macedonia, with just three wins, two of which has been recorded in the last four meetings. The team has four draws and a total of nine losses, with 16 goals scored and 25 underpaid.

With two goals scored against Pobeda last weekend, though not a classic striker, Kire Markoski is now Rabotnic’s best scorer this year. He has reached 11 goals and is fourth in the list of goalscorer in Macedonia. After him, Nigerian Geoffrey comes who has scored 10 goals for the Romanticists.

In Rabotnički, even in this match will lack the center-back of Macedonia’s hopes representative, Nehar Sadiki. He was punished with a red card in the match against the Shkendija and will miss tomorrow, similar to Pobeda. The suspension will expire with this appointment.

Brazilian Serginho, in case of a penalty tomorrow, could not play at the next meeting for Rabotnički.

Stadium: “Kukush” – Turnovo

This stadium continues to host the matches of Academy Pandev. The team does not even prefer to think of playing at the Mlladost Stadium in Strumica, and there are good conditions for playing. The field continues to be in a good and stable condition and the same although it does not offer an ideal opportunity, however, it offers good opportunities for good and beautiful football.

Before the game analysis:

This will be one of the most interesting matches in this tournament, where Akademija Pandev and Rabotnički will discuss each other with a country in the Europa League. The guests are in the fourth place, with three more points than the locals and given the fact that even the fourth position will almost certainly be in Europe, we can expect both teams to miss a match. Smaller people have a guest, as they are three times ahead of the opponent and this match, maybe even reconciliation. They have a better formation, while the locals are expected to feel the absence of the best striker and player in the form, Zoran Baldovaliev, the player who has shaken 14 goals this year, six in the last seven games.
