D1 - Football - Macedonia - 1. Division

After the poor start and three defeats in a row, it was clear something must be changed in Vardar. So, today Aleksandar Vasoski was announced as new coach, while Gjoko Hadzievski is new sport director. The 44-year-old Vasoski started his coaching career on the bench of Vardar from 2018 to 2020, while than coached Akademija Pandev. I think the change will have a positive impact to the players. Of course, this will be only a short period, as the main problem remains - the finance situation is very bad.

Sileks have one win, one draw and one defeat after the first three rounds. They are solid team, but most of the points have been collected at home. As guests, they lost to Bregalnica and played 1:1 with Shkupi.

I expect Vardar to get positive result here. The main reason for my pick is connect with the "new coach effect". The home advantage is also a reason for my pick, the full stadium "Boris Trajkovski" will be like a "12th player" for Vardar. The fans are angry and every player must give the maximum in this match. I will also mention that the referee Dimitar Pileshkov is inexperienced and probably won't handle the pressure. Vardar could win the match, but if You like a safer option then try double chance (1X).
