Stadium: “Boris Trajkovski”, Skopje

The Vardar team was surprised by deciding that this meeting, the first of the new season as a host, to develop in the stadium of the Shkupjja neighborhood, Madzar and not in the arena “Second Philip”. The team also bought last year had developed some games at this stadium, which does not possess the ideal conditions as arenas, but for now, the field has a good and stable condition, which offers good conditions for beautiful football.

Before the game analysis:

In most of the meetings between the two teams, Vardari enters as a favorite and this has testified in six of the last seven meetings, where Makedonija Gjorce Petrov has scored 28 goals. Even in this duel, an absolute domination is expected Vardar, so much after the excellent start of the Skopje team, where in two difficult trips to Tetovo, Vardar remained unbeaten and won four points. On the opposite side, Makedonija Gj.P. a week ago against Shkëndija testified that he knows how to defend himself well and wants the surprise of last week, to repeats itself against another big favorite..
