MACEDONIA GJ.P.

Macedonian team Makedonija Gjorce Petrov is one of the least stable teams in Macedonia’s elite football, which recently plays in the first league and at times in the second. Last season I won the first place in the West Second League and as a result, after only 12 months it returned to Macedonia’s most qualitative football. After that, the team was reinforced with a number of quality players and first-team experience, such as striker Hristijan Kirovski, midfielder Ilirid Ademi, goalkeeper Marko Jovanovski, or Brazilian Robson, Juninho and Jerferson. From the departures, most of the time was the escape of Viktor Serafimovsky and the retirement of Toni Dzangarovski.

In the first game after returning to Macedonia’s elite society, Makedonija Gj.P. was very close to winning a point, but in the end from Strumica and the match with Akademija Pandev, he turned empty hands. Coach Team Bobby Stojkoski had equalized the 1-1 in the second half, with Dejan Tanturoski, but at the end of the game he could not stop the great national talent Lupco Doriev, who brought three points the opponent, with the automatism and the defeat of Gjorce Petrov Macedonia.

After a long career of professional footballer in Macedonia and outside the border, experienced defender Toni Dzangarovski decided to retire this summer and now he is involved in the technical staff of Makedonija Gj.P., where he started working as a conditional trainer.
Makedonija Gj.P. in this match will be without the services of right-wing defender Filip Stojanovski, who is suspended from last season and will not play in even future meetings.

SHKËNDIJA

Having been declared a second-time champion in history last season and with an absolute dominance as well as a full 35 point advantage over the closest pursuers, Shkëndija has made some minor changes in the lineup compared to the last season. However, the biggest shortage this season will be the departure of captain Ferhan Hasani, whose contract expires in June and who failed to find a common language with the head of the Shkëndija. Last Friday, Hasani signed with the Arab Al Saed team. The second skipper, Ferhan Hasani, has also left the team, while the reinforcements that came during the summer should mention Remzifaik Selmanin, Valmir Nafiu and Gledi Micin.

Attempts: Konstantin Cheshmedjiev – Akademija Pandev, Macedonia (defender), Omar Imeri – Shkupi, Macedonia (striker), Remzifaik Selmani – Ujpest, Hungary (striker), Valmir Nafiu – Renova, Macedonia (striker), Gledi Mici – Skënderbeu, defender)

The defenders: Enis Fazlagikj – Zilina, Slovakia (midfielder), Olsi Teqja – Kamza, Albania (defender), Ardian Cuculi – Kukës, Albania (defender), Bashkim Lama – Teteks, Macedonia (striker), Shpend Asani – Brotherhood, ), Ferhan Hasani – Al Raed, Saudi Arabia (striker)

Shkëndija this summer, similar to the two past, is very tight, reaching once again until the playoff stage of the Europa League. This time, the European journey started in the Champions League, where he spent the first two rounds, first eliminating the Welsh champion TNS. The first Rossoneri have won 5-0, and when they all thought it would be easy in Wales, they suffered 4-0 and were rescued by a humiliating elimination. In the second round, Shkëndija was on the sidelines of Moldovan champion Sheriff Tiraspol, home with a 1-0 win and with no goal goals as a guest continued in the third round, where he faced one of the biggest favorites, Austrian Salzburg championship and two defeats, 0-3 and 0-1, were eliminated by being transferred to the Europa League playoff. There, for a historic placement in the bands of this race, will face the Norwegian champion Rosenborg, with the crus of the first match being played on Thursday in Norway, and returning after a week in Skopje.

Shkëndija, this summer, as well as any other summer, the host matches in the European Cups have been forced to play in Skopje, as their Tetovo stadium does not fill European criterions.

In the first lap last week, although the big favorite of Vardar’s vital rival, Shkëndija did not manage to go more than a 2-2 draw. Qatip Osman’s players quickly found themselves disadvantaged to equal Besart Ibrahim from the free kick, and then to advance with Besmir Boy’s goal, even though in those caste with a few players but in the end with a goal scored by Goran Popov, had to enjoy the draw 2-2. Shkendija’s new captain, Armend Alimi, was booked with a red card in the match in the 64th minute.

In addition to Armend Alimi, who will miss the cause of the suspension in this meeting, Shkëndija will not be able to play two other players, Marjan Radeski, who will miss a long time and Mevlan Murati who was injured the week past the derby against Vardar.

Stadium: “Gyorche Petrov”

The stadium where their matches are played by Makedonija Gj.P., for a long time in the past seasons has been host to teams like Vardari or Teteks in the lowest rank. Although this team is playing in this stadium, the field is not ideal, especially when it keeps cold weather, but at the moment, it offers good conditions for football.

Before the game analysis:

In any first-league match this year and any opponent, Shkëndija is the absolute favorite to win the full score. But considering the fact that after only four days, Qatip Osman’s team will play the first game of the offshoot in the Europa League against Norwegian Rosenborg, perhaps the odds for the Tetovo squad might be expected. However, Makedonija Gj.P. it is not an opponent that can cause problems with the Shkëndija, so even if guests are presented with a combined lineup and not so concentrated in this meeting, they should not have a problem to win the three points.
