Stadium: “Chair” – Skopje

The Shkupi team, when playing in the stadium, always has great support from the player’s 12th most fierce team fans, and this makes the team convincing and always favorite at home. It is also expected tomorrow, when a large number of audiences are expected, in a solid field stadium.

Before the game analysis:

It will be this derby of derby, after which one of the teams, or perhaps both, will lose hope for a possible exit in Europe. Shkupi is the favorite on the paper, given the team appearances at home and in the presence of fiery team fans. The Shkupi players are in good shape and this proved to be a profound victory against Pelister and now, with eventual triumphs tomorrow, they want to significantly increase their expectations for placement in the Europa League. On the other hand, Renova also hopes for a possible exit in Europe, but it is clear that it will be very difficult, almost impossible. The team has achieved the primary goal, and it was survival, and now it will play without pressure and will eventually wait for the chance to surprise Shkupi tomorrow.
