D1 - Football - Macedonia - 1. Division

Something "smells" about this match. The hosts decided to play away from their fans in Gjorce Petrov. They will welcome FK Skopje at FFM training center Petar Milosevski, on the other part of the Capital. Strange decision, no doubt about that. Official reason - intervention on the grass. Last game that was played in Gjorce Petrov was on 15. 04, exactly 11 days ago. I think that's enough time for grass reparation.

However, Makedonija are safe in the middle of the table, 14 points from the relegation zone. At the same time they are 13 points away from the European spots. It is clear the motivation won't be at the highest level. FK Skopje, meanwhile, are deeply involved in the relegation battle. They are 4 points behind Akademija Pandev and this is a good opportunity to collect a point or three. Even more as they will face bottom-placed Pobeda in the next round.

That was about speculations, now about the sport aspect of the match. Makedonija GP are in awful form, two defeats on the last three matches, just one draw. FK Skopje are improving, just one defeat on four matches in April. I think it is possible to win here.
