I’m expecting a pretty spectacular game, at the end of which the North-Macedonians will succeed in imposing, marking at least 2 times.
So I think Shkëndija will play a good game in front of this opponent and will be able to score at least 2 times, thus transferring the fate of the qualification from the first hand.
Shkendija is a 2 times more valuable team than his opponent, according to Transfermarkt.de, twice champion in turn in Macedonia, an offensive team with 3 strikers who managed to score nearly 2 times more goals in the championship than the other teams scored.
